| Beschrijving keerzijde | A schematically rendered eagle displayed with spread wings, standing with head turned to the right, depicted in the bold, stylised manner typical of Late Iron Age British coinage. The body of the bird is rendered as a broad central mass with abbreviated wing extensions to either side, occupying most of the flan. The design is executed in low relief with irregular flan edges consistent with hand-struck Celtic bronze coinage of the early first century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eppillus is one of the few late Iron Age rulers in Britain to have styled himself REX on his coinage — a deliberate adoption of Roman titulature that almost certainly reflects personal dealings with Augustus's court. He ruled in Kent after apparently displacing Tincommius from Atrebatic territory, then extended his reach into Cantium, making this issue a product of political transition as much as monetary need. The chronology of his reign overlaps almost exactly with Rome's consolidation of client-king relationships across southern Britain in the years before Claudian invasion became conceivable.
