This coin has a small hole 1.5mm diameter that has been drilled into the top of the reverse, this is where it has been reused at a later date and converted into a pendant. Converting roman coins into pendants was a method used in the Early Anglo Saxon period when roman coins were no longer used as a form of currency but instead performed a decorative role. This finds have been found in Anglo-Saxon graves dating from the early 5th century to the 7th century. | Subjects: | pendant Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Adams, Kurt - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
