| Additional information |
Eppilus is one of the few Celtic rulers of pre-Roman Britain who left epigraphic evidence of his own ambitions — coins bearing his name are found across both Cantii and Atrebatic territories, suggesting he ruled or claimed authority over parts of both kingdoms simultaneously. A coin of Tincomarus, his likely brother, was found in Rome itself, pointing to a dynastic network actively cultivating Roman diplomatic ties in the years immediately preceding Claudius's invasion.
The Kentish attribution distinguishes this type from Eppilus's Atrebatic issues by findspot distribution and subtle stylistic divergence tracked across the ABC corpus.
