guy Posted July 10, 2024 Report Share Posted July 10, 2024 (edited) A coin from the Roman Republic, approximately 82 BCE, has been discovered in Carlisle, England. This is the most recent discovery at the Carlisle site. It is unclear how this coin, minted in Rome and predating Julius Caesar's arrival to the island in 55 BCE, ended up in England. Quote On one side it depicts Ulysses walking his dog Argos as described in Homer's epic poem The Odyssey, and the head of the god Mercury on the other. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cek9vd9lr2zo Edited July 10, 2024 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
