Description: | 3 AR denarii, 5 AE sestertii and one AE dupondius / as to ad 138 BM ref.: 2005 T387 Circumstances of discoveryThis small mixed denarius and sestertius hoard was found with the aid of a metal detector, 18th March 2005, in a line of 5-10 meters and at a depth of 8cm. Copper alloy disc (1.08g) found alongside the coins by Richard Hobbs Copper-alloy disc consisting of a thin, sub-circular piece of metal with damaged edges. The surface of the disc is raised, but there is no discernible design. The disc is of uncertain function and date. Discussion: it is unclear if this object should be considered part of the Roman coin hoard, and therefore should not be considered as Treasure.
