The best gold stater found this year by a metal detecting enthusiast looking for treasure in the English countryside. Verica warrior Rex, 30 -10 AD, Regini and Atrebates tribe. ABC 1190, Verica was the third son of Commios, and the second most powerful king in Britain only to Cunobelinus at this time who is rumored to have struck over a million staters! Verica struck quite a few too! but not many found in this condition. The presence of a lituus (a wooden curved staff or wand) on this coin and the next might suggest that Verica held a priestly position and that he perhaps regarded himself as ruling by divine right.
