Description: | A slightly corroded 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus of Constantine I, 'BEATA TRANQUILLITAS', probably Lyon mint (c. 321 AD; Reece issue period 16; probably R.I.C. 126)
This coin has 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 nor reverse designs: it is at 2 o'clock on the obverse, at 3 o'clock on the reverse. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
