    Dr John Creighton says: 'One of the most potent symbols was that on the signet ring of Augustus himself: the sphinx. Octavian had used this image in Rome during the Triumvirate, and its significance grew as he continued to use it as his defining image on his signet ring. It was his distinctive seal. Tasciovanus was the first to use the image in Britain, followed by Sego, Cunobelin and Verica' (Coins and Power in Late Iron Age Britain, 2000, p.107).
