Description |
English: A depiction of the reverse of a silver coin of Tasciovanus from the figures decorating the margins of Moll's map of Gloucestershire, sold separately and as Map 14 in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales... The illustration derives from figure 17 of Tabula I Nummi Britannici on Page 87 of William Camden's Britannia, Vol. I. Camden's English text for the coin reads "The 17th the image of Augustus, and TASCIA; on the reverse a bull pushing." Elsewhere, he relates that the inscription TASCIA "in British signifies a tribute-penny (as I am informed by D. David Powel, a man admirably skilled in that language;) perhaps from the Latin taxatio, for the Britons do not use the letter x. And upon the same account, we see moneta often upon the Roman coins." In fact, although this misunderstanding became widespread, the inscription is actually a form of the name Tasciovanus, later continued on the coinage of his son Cunobelinus (1).
