Can someone explain why this is remarkable? Is there something special about that ruler? Or about coins that age in Britain? > "Within a rapidly changing political landscape, I suspect that new political leaders emerged; sometimes flourishing, sometimes disappearing as quickly as they had appeared," Leins said. "If an individual amassed enough power and wealth to extend his/her influence, the striking and issuing of coins was one mechanism by which they could further expand their influence." Yes, that's pretty much how it works. This is also how we know of a couple of short lived rulers during the migration period after Rome fell. Why is this science 'news'?
