Kalkriese the Battle of the Angrivarii Wall ?
#4
Most of the coins found were denarii of Augustus with Caius and Lucius reverse minted in Lugdunum. These are dated to 2BC-2AD. I'd have to check my references to see if anything was found that could be dated more precisely.

EDIT: Looking at one of my sources I see that a moneyer's series AE As of Augustus was found at the site that was counter marked VAR for Varus. By far the majority of the coins though are the above mentioned denarii of Augustus dated to no later than 2AD though plenty of earlier republic and Imperatorial coins were found.
