06.08.24: Level 1; Ora Maritima [6](5)

“Multa sunt monumenta antīqua in Britanniā, multa vestīgia Rōmānōrum.”

“Rusticīs nummī saepe sunt causa lucrī.”

The coin was found by a metal detectorist in a field in Kent (where Ora Maritima is set). It certainly was a source of profit:

“A stunning gold coin emblazoned with the face of Roman Emperor Allectus - the first Brexiteer who took Britain out of the Roman Empire - has sold for a staggering £550,000.”
