Description: | Very worn and corroded contemporary copy of a Roman nummus of the House of Magnentius. This coin dates from 350 to 353AD. The obverse of the coin is completely worn with no detail of the bust or legend remaining. The reverse of the coin is in a similar condition, however the detail of two victories holding one shield is just visible. The shield would have been inscriped VOT V MVLT X, with the legend VICTORIAE DD NN AVG RT CAE however both these inscriptions are now completely worn and illegible. This crude coin was struck in copper alloy and is now dull brown-red in colour with some small areas of green corrosion. The coin is 14.49mm in diameter, 1.52mm thick and weighs 1.1 grams. The reverse type can be more clearly seen in Reece and James 1986 figure 129. | Subjects: | Nummus | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Richardson, Andrew - Canterbury Archaeological Trust | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
