No 672: Verica Galley Silver Unit

No
672: Verica Galley Silver Unit: This Verica Galley silver
unit is a comparatively new
type,
unpublished by any major catalogue and excessively rare. There is
only one other
example
recorded and this is easily the better of the two. Dr John
Creighton, in Coins
and
Power in Late Iron Age Britain (2000)
illustrates the obverse of the other example
and
comments that the ship’s prow was the classic symbol of a
naval victory, an image
which
multiplied in its use following Octavian’s victory at the
Battle of Actium in 31 BC.
