UNITED KINGDOM spirit of servile imitation which it breathes, as well as the absence of that religious sentiment which confers a character and an individuality on the Greek and Roman coinages ; and this attribute equally belongs to the productions of the Anglo-Saxon mints, when the con- temporary work on the Continent of Europe presented in a conspicuous manner such diplomatic types or sym- bols as the Temple, Christiana Religio, and Dei Gratia or Domini Misericordid, a survival of the interesting records of local cults and beliefs impressed on the circu- lating medium of the ancients. At the same time, the retention of the costume of the British coins on those of the later race may fortify our belief in the local origin of the former, from which the Anglo-Saxon pennies, sceattoe and stycos would thus be a natural evolution. When we come to the inscribed series, we feel that we are treading on somewhat surer ground. Yet the fact is, that nearly all that we know about the money of this class bearing names, generally abbreviated if not corrupt, is that they are almost certainly of native parentage. Like the anepigraphic coins, they are of very unequal pretensions in respect to fabric and art, and while we read certain names or parts of names upon them, there is no direct or collateral clue to the region in which they were struck, or when the per- sonage specified flourished. Sir John Evans may be right in supposing that the two classes ran side by side but the workmanship is as unsafe a guide in fixing the chronological sequence as the place of discovery is in trving to arrive at the place of mintage. 159 ;
<strong>THE</strong> <strong>COLLECTOR</strong> SERIES The list of rulers is doubtless still incomplete ; there are, so far as one can judge, traces of about seventeen or eighteen reguli who enjoyed, by virtue of a more or less ample dominion, the right of signing the money in a seigniorial or royal capacity. On some of the gold inscribed coins occur other initials, which may represent the moneyer or the mint, or both. The names which are least doubtful are — Tasciovanus. Andoco[mius ?]. Cunobeline, son of Tasciovanus. Boduoc. Epaticcus, brother of Cunobe- Vosii or Vosenos. line. Antedrigus. Verica. Suei. Dubnovellaunus. Amminus. Eppillus. Addedomaros. Conimius or Tincommius. Cara or Carat. Cara may represent Caradoc or Caractacus ; but Cassivelaunus and Cadwallader, the two other chieftains most familiar to us by repute, do not seem to be known by coins, unless they are concealed under such tribal designations as Sego, Boduoc, Vosii,
