| Beschrijving voorzijde | A composition of eight ringed pellets arranged in a roughly circular cluster, with seven smaller ringed pellets surrounding a single, larger central ringed pellet. Each element consists of a raised central boss enclosed by a concentric ring, rendered in the characteristic abstract Celtic geometric style. The design fills the flan without a border, with the pellets distributed across a plain, unadorned field. No inscription or legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eppillus is one of the few rulers of pre-Roman Britain whose name appears on coinage in both Britain and Gaul, suggesting a cross-Channel political reach unusual for a tribal king of this period. He likely ruled the Atrebates before moving into Cantii territory, and this small bronze — a fractional denomination by any reckoning — would have circulated in the years immediately preceding or overlapping with the Claudian invasion buildup. The eight-ring type is catalogued under Van Arsdell's die study as a distinct emission, not a variant of earlier Cantii struck bronze.
