Yeah, forgot to add that. It's listed as Atrebates: Epatticus. Dunno what/who the Epatticus was.. :?:

Voriax

Edit: Ah, he was an Atrebates king. so the date is 35-43 AD
 
All I can say is WOW! What I would give to find something even remotely that old. Nice going Simon!
 
That is a fantastic find. Two miles from stonhenge, Wow
You have the location of dreams.
Congrats to you. :wow: :wow:
 
And we Americans get excited over a couple hundred year old coin. I can't imagine finding something that old and in that great of shape. Way to go my man. :wow:
 
Hey Bear,theres nothing wrong with what you guys over there are finding,ive said it before its all relative,if your country is 400 years old then a coin of 100 years is old.I would love to find some of those coins you get there,who know,s maybe i will be over there sometime knocking on your door.
 
You have blown my mind again. (it can't take too much more :lol) Beautiful condition. Huge CONGRATS again!

Was this with the new EXP?

I have a spare room. You're welcome anytime.
 
Good job Simon! 2000 year old coins are a great find. Just keep going back for more.
 
Is this a certain I.D. Simon ?
I had an Epaticcus Eagle twenty years back and it had the same eagle side but a bust on the other (of Epaticcus). Description was C35-42 AD. AR unit. 1.12gram. Herakles style bust with lionskin headress. EPATI in front, beaded border. Spread eagle clutching snake, beaded border.
There's a whole host of similar eagles like the 10-42 AD Verica Eagle.
