Bronze 1/2 Unit - Eppillus Eight Rings

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.
