A Vindication Of The Celtic Inscriptions On Gaulish And British Coins: With Vignettes, And A Plate Of Fac-Similies Of Characters Used In Roman Writing In The First Century, From Pompeii. By Beale Poste. This scholarly work defends the reading and interpretation of Celtic inscriptions on Gaulish and British coinage. Beale Poste argues that coin legends of the Celts incorporated titular forms and Latin and Greek inflections, reflecting contact with the Roman world, and demonstrates that Britain’s coinage presents a distinct Celtic national character rather than a mere provincial variant of Rome. The volume surveys coins associated with Cunobeline and his sons (Adminius, Togodumnus, Caractacus) as well as those of the Southern Belgic states and the Iceni, detailing how epithets, monograms, and symbols convey sovereignty, lineage, or tribal identity. It includes a plate from Pompeii to illustrate letter forms, plus a Descriptive List of coins and an Addenda addressing later criticisms. The Preface emphasizes truth, caution against forgery, and a measured, evidentiary approach to ancient British numismatics.
