Title
English: British Coins
Description
English: A depiction of the obverse 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).


Notes:
Legend: TASCIA
London: Sold by H. Moll over-against Devereux-Court in the Strand; Tho. Bowles, Print and Map-Seller near the Chapter-House in St. Paul's Church-Yard, and J. Bowles Print and Map-Seller over-against Stocks-Market. 1724.

(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).
