File:British Coin 4a.jpg

English: A depiction of the obverse of a Gallic silver coin 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 25 of Tabula I Nummi Britannici on Page 87 of William Camden's Britannia, Vol. I. Camden provided no note himself. Walker's notes on Camden printed in the English translation read "The twenty-fifth, Arivogius, is, both by Speed and Archbishop Usher, thought to be Arviragus; of whom more co. 27. Ononus I understand not." Walker's note on figure 27 reads "The twenty-seventh, a crowned head, with many strings of pearls about it, is thought to be Arviragus. I wish there were more than bare conjectures for it. For I do not find that Arviragus was a Christian, as this coin declares, there being a cross and a string of pearls about it; an ordinary ornament of the cross in the first peaceable times of the church. Harding, I think, is the only author who affirms him a Christian: but 'Tis generally said, erga religionem Christianam bene affectus [That he was well disposed to the Christian religion], and that he gave to the first preachers of Glastonbury so many hides of land, as helped much to maintain them. And Gildas saith, that it was well known that the Christian religion was brought into Britain in the latter end of Tiberius's time. He lived in great reputation in Domitian's time, whose flatterers, upon some prodigies appearing, foretold him of some great good fortune to him, as that Arviragus should be thrown down from his chariot." The existence of any figure by the name is questionable (with some ascribing it to a misunderstanding of a latinization of a British term for high chief) but subsequent discoveries show these coins to have a fuller inscription ARIVOS SANTONOS, ascribing them to the Santoni chief or a Santoni chief named Arivos in Gaul (1, 2)
