| Additional information |
Sulis was a Celtic healing deity venerated at the thermal springs in what is now Bath; the Romans identified her with Minerva and built the sacred complex at Aquae Sulis around 60–70 AD, one of the most elaborately maintained cult sites in Roman Britain. This piece is a modern replica, not an ancient coin — no denarius bearing this specific iconographic program was struck by the Roman mint.
