Description: | CURATOR'S REPORTRoman silver silver miliarensis, about one third of the coin found in two parts. From the same find as SUSS-68AA45.Description of FindPart of a Silver Miliarensis (in two fragments) House of Valentinian or Theodosius, c. 367-95 Mint unclear Obv.

Miliarenses in particular are mostly only found in hoards. This, and the close proximity of the findspots, suggests the coins were originally deposited together in a hoard or lost together, for example in a purse, and should therefore be considered as of the same find. As they are over 300 years old and contain over 10% precious metal they should therefore be considered Treasure within the meaning of the Treasure Act 2006.
