Description: | A worn and corroded 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus probably of Crispus, 'BEATA TRANQUILLITAS' type, London mint (321-324 AD; Reece issue period 16)
This coin has suffered some circumferential losses. It has also been pierced, presumably for use as a jewellery item at a later date. Although this practice occurred in the Roman period it is most commonly documented as an early-medieval practice. The piercing respects neither obverse or reverse designs and appears to have been conducted with the reverse uppermost. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
