Title

English: British Coins

Description

English: A depiction of the reverse of a silver coin—minted at St Alban by Tasciovanus (1)—from the figures decorating the margins of Moll's map of Hertfordshire, sold separately and as Map 18 in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales...

The illustration derives from figure 4 of Tabula I Nummi Britannici on Page 87 of William Camden's Britannia, Vol. I. Its note states "The fourth by the VER seems to have been coined at Verulam." 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).

Notes:
Legend: TASCIA [Tasciovanus]

(Reusing this file)

This file might NOT be in the public domain.

It was previously considered to be in the public domain because it is a scan (or similar) by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, but not everything scanned by the BNF is automatically in the public domain.

It is possible that this file is in the public domain for other reasons, for example because it was published a long time ago (anything before ca. 1900 is most likely ok) or because its author / artist / photographer died over 70 years ago and it was published over 95 years ago. In such cases, a new rationale should be applied, and a different license tag (see Commons:Licensing and valid license tags at Commons:Copyright tags) should be used.

If the file is not found to be in the public domain, it might be nominated for deletion (NOT by any automatic process, but manually).

See below for the previous rationale (not applicable anymore).
