A Roman coin hoard, comprising 30-40 coins, dating from 69-168 AD (Hoard Index 4). It was found during the excavation of an electricity cable-laying trench near the Avro works on Sleaford Road in 1946. Four coins were donated to the City and County Museum in 1946 by the Mid Lincolnshire Electricity Supply Company. (LM 39.46). They are Domitian (RIC238), Hadrian (RIC 69), M. Aurelius (RIC 112 and 185). Two more coins were donated in 1954 (45.54 and 46.54) which are Vespasian (RIC 77) and Trajan (RIC 187) and were presented by two employees of the East Midlands Electricity Board. The remainder of the hoard was dispersed and the container, "a small red pot" was destroyed. {1}{2}{3}
