	Eppillus (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		After Commius's death in about 20 BC, based on numismatic evidence, Eppillus seems to have ruled jointly with his brother, Tincomarus.
		Eppillus became ruler of the whole territory a little before AD 7, and Tincomarus appears as a supplicant to the emperor Augustus in his '' Res Gestae '', so he would seem to have been driven out in some sort of domestic intrigue.
		In about AD 15 Eppillus was succeeded as king of the Atrebates by another brother, Verica.

	CANTIACI (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Towards the end of his period of rule, before the coins of Eppillus appeared on the scene in the initial years of the first century AD, other nobles issued incribed coinage in Cantium, one a Vosenios, and another possibly with the name Sa[...], though this may represent a mint mark.
		These coins, although stylistically quite dissimilar, may reasonably be identified with those of Eppillus of the Atrebates, who was ousted from his throne at Calleva (Silchester in Hampshire) by his younger brother Verica at this time.
		Eppillus was himself replaced by another non-Kentish king, Adminius of the Catuvellauni c.

	Coinage south of the Thames
		In the north, Eppillus struck coins proclaiming himself to be the king of Calleva (Silchester).
		Eppillus also held territory in north-east Kent, for which he issued a separate series of coins.
		Prior to Eppillus's involvement in Kent, the most significant producer of coins in the county was a Dubnovellaunus, who may have held territory to the north of the Thames at the same time.

	BRITISH CELTIC NOBLES
		Subjection to the rule of his brother seems not to have been acceptable to Eppillus however, probably because of his siblings openly pro-Roman tendancies, for in c.AD7 he conspired to remove Tincommius from the Atrebatean throne, forcing him to flee to Rome to petition the emperor.
		It is possible that during the period of joint rule, Tincommius governed the southern half of the Atrebatean realm, operating from the oppidum of Noviomagus, and upon his succession he preferred to stay at the southerly sea port.
		This left his brother Eppillus to govern the northern territory from Calleva, and was to be the undoing of the lazy Tincommius, for it is from this time that the oppidum at Calleva developed into the main centre of Atrebatean power, under the rule of Eppilus.

	Romans in Britain - The Atrebates tribe
		It is possible that during the period of joint rule, Tincommius governed the southern half of the Atrebatean territory from Noviomagus, where he stayed in the south.
		Tincommius continued to rule the kingdom from Noviomagus on the south coast, and left his brother Eppillus to govern the northern tribal lands from Calleva.
		Eppillus appeared to play the subordinate to his brother, but this was merely a ploy to lull Tincommius into a false sense of security.

	Culture
		From 50 BC onwards, we know that the local tribes were the Atrebates (a word apparently meaning 'settlers' - almost certainly from northern Gaul where there was a similarly-named tribe).
		The Atrebates were led by Tincomarus in the south and Eppillus in the north, both of whom were recognised by the Romans as a client kings.

		But Tincommius would have to flea to Augustus due to the treachery of his brother Eppillus who desired to rule in his stead.
		Augustus, however, accepted the political situation at the time and even allowed Eppillus to use the title REX on his coinage.
		Eppillus would soon have to flea himself when the third brother, Verica, seized the throne.

	Pre-Roman Calleva
		To the pre-Roman period we can attribute the coins of Eppillus, selfstyled REX (king), which carry the marks of CALLE or CALLEV and are generally regarded as having been produced at Calleva.
		Eppillus described himself as son of Commius, a claim he shared with two other leaders, Tincomarus and Verica.
		While Tincomarus, fleeing to Rome by AD 7, was probably ousted by Eppillus, Eppillus himself appears to have been ejected by his brother Verica who ruled until the beginning of the 40s, when he was forced out of Britain, probably by the Catuvellaunian prince, Epatticus or Caratacus.

		After that defeat Commius seems to have fled to Britain and to have gone on to found the ruling dynasty of the tribe of Atrebates, who lived in an area that now includes western Sussex and parts of Surrey and Hampshire.
		Judging from the distribution of their coins Tincommarus seems to have ruled the southern part of the territory, perhaps based at Chichester, while Eppillus ruled the north from his base at Calleva Atrebatum (modern Silchester).
		Shortly after the turn of the new millennium the territory was unified again under Verica, who ruled for several decades until, under extreme pressure from the expansionist Catuvellauni, from north of the Thames, he was forced to flee to Rome to plea for military assistance; this was in about AD 42.

		The types sometimes wear out altogether on the die of the obverse, which presents merely a convex surface.
		The earliest inscribed coins belong to the second half of the first century B.C. They are found in the south-east, and bear the names of Tincommius, Verica, and Eppillus, apparently sons of that Commius who retired from Gaul before the Romans in 51 B.C. (Caesar, Comm.

		After he was ousted from Chichester, Eppillus also issued coin for a while in Cantium.
		Before AD7 he fell victim to a coup hatched by his younger brother Eppillus and was removed from the throne, whereupon he travelled to Rome to plead his case for reinstatement before Augustus (vide supra).
		Subjection to the rule of his brother seems not to have been acceptable to Eppillus however, probably because of his siblings openly pro-Roman tendancies, for c.

	Administration
		According to Caesar said he was highly regarded in Britain; he apparently rose to become the leader of the British Atrebates and struck coins in his name.
		Then it gets strange; Tincommios' successor Eppillus styles himself "son of Commios" (EPPI COMMI F on one coin - other variations existing) Eppillus also designates himself as the "King of Calleva" (REX CALLE).
		The Atrebates line appears to have been only of sons of Commios, and either this means that they were an exceptionally long lived family, or that "filius" meant something else and might not have any genetic significance whatsoever.

		A wide range of coins were found representing Gaulish territories as well as coins from Atrebatic rulers such as Tincomarius and Eppillus.
		Imported metalwork was abundant and pottery consisted of locally made wares and a large collection of imported material from France.
		In the Midlands and South, from the 2nd century BC onwards, uninscribed coins were introduced followed later in the 1st century by those identifying regal dynasties.

		The most important, however, are those of the Catuvellauni and Trinovantes north of the Thames where Tasciovanus and Cunobelinus (Shakespeare's Cymbeline) struck coins both at Verulamium (St Albans, Hertfordshire) and Camulodunum (Colchester, Essex).
		To the south of the Thames sons of Commius ruled the Atrebates: Tincommius, Eppillus (a few of whose issues carry the name of Calleva, the native settlement [oppidum] underlying Roman Silchester), and Verica, whose main mint may have been at Selsey in West Sussex.
		This money was struck in gold, silver, and bronze.

		It's a silver unit of Eppillus, VA 443-1, with a head right on the obverse and inscription IO VIR or CO VIR or FO VIR, and on the reverse a Capricorn left with EPPI above and COM F below.
		Although Eppillus appears to have been from the Atrebates, this is one of the coins he struck which is found predominantly in Kent, reflecting his brief period of rule there probably around the turn of the first century BC/AD.
		The obverse inscription of this type is a bit of a puzzle: CO VIR would presumably be Commios and Verica, but it's not clear whether IO and FO refer to other words or whether they're simply mistakes by the die engraver'.

	Calleva Atrebatum - Roman Silchester, Hampshire, UK
		Calleva (Silchester) became an important Roman town and is now an important archaeological site with key excavations by Professor Mike Fulford of Reading University.
		The Late Iron Age gold coin (r) is inscribed 'Callev' for Calleva, and 'Eppi' for Eppillus, one of the ruling dynasty in the early first century AD.
		Unlike many other Roman towns which continued in use after the withdrawal of Roman troops early in the 5th century AD (such as Winchester), Silchester was completely abandoned at the end of the Roman occupation.

		Commius, its likely founder, had fought Julius Caesar in Gaul (France) and fled to Britain about 50 BC.
		His sons Eppillus, Tincommius (recognized by Augustus c15 BC), and Verica divided his kingdom, issued Roman- type coins, and used the Roman title Rex ('king').
		Having lost Calleva (Silchester) to Cunobelinus, Verica fled his remnant of territory in Sussex and sought help at Rome.

	Coin of the week June 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Two examples are recorded in the Celtic Coin Index, both found in excavations in Kent: one from Canterbury and one from Rochester.
		They're unlikely to be quite as early as Van Arsdell suggests (50-30 BC), perhaps dating to later in the first century BC or into the first century AD; they might perhaps be issues of Eppillus, although clearly there is no inscription to confirm this.
		Continuing last week's theme, this is another coin listed in Van Arsdell's Celtic Coinage of Britain, but not illustrated.
