Description: | Contemporary copy of a Roman nummus of the House of Constantine dating 354-361. The coin was struck in copper alloy and now has a dull green patina. The obverse of the coin is worn with a right facing bust and illegible legend. The reverse is a blundered copy of a soldier spearing a fallen barbarian horseman, see Reece and James 1986 figures 134, 163 and 164. The reverse legend for this type of nummus is FEL TEMP REPARATIO, however no legend is visible on the reverse, and either was never present on this copy, or has been completely worn from the surface. There is no mint mark on the coin. This coin is 14.74mm in diameter, 1.55mm thick and weighs 1.06 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Richardson, Andrew - Canterbury Archaeological Trust | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
