A gold coin minted by a little-known ruler in ancient Britain — an Iron Age man who said he was as"mighty" as a god — has been found by a metal detectorist and auctioned off in England.
A Latin alphabetic inscription on the coin bears the name"Esunertos," which can be translated as"mighty as the god Esos," the statements said. The name itself is Gaulish, a language commonly spoken in the region at the time, John Sills, an archaeologist at the University of Oxford's Institute of Archaeology who examined the coin before it was auctioned, told Live Science in an email.
In the time after Caesar's invasions, the political situation in Britain may have been in flux, said Ian Leins, a curator of collections and interiors at English Heritage, a charity that manages the U.K.'s historic monuments. Rome had conquered Gaul by 50 B.C., and the threat of another invasion attempt in Britain loomed.
