August 23 is the anniversary of the death of Gnaeus Julius Agricola in 93 AD.

I’ve chosen today to post my first Celtic coin from Britain and a poster

featuring the general and one of his forts.

I’d love to see your Celtic coins from Britain and your Roman coins of the period.

Nice coin and nice writeup.  Durotrigan coins are my favourite.

Here are some of my Celtic coins (both sides are shown, so it's only half as many as it looks):

That’s a great collection and a beautiful coin montage, @DCCR! Thanks for posting.

Super presentation as always! Agricola isn't mentioned enough in these forums.

I can contribute a Domitian denarius struck in 83, the year of the battle of Mons Graupius, Agricola's crowning achievement. A recent acquisition.

Yikes 😮! I'm in a state of shock viewing this photo, what an incredible collection. You must have been working on this a long time 🤔.
