Description: | In August 2007, Paul Rennoldson and Thomas Bolam discovered five coins whilst metal-detecting on farmland in the parish of North Dalton. Four of the coins were addenda to the earlier North Dalton Iron Age hoard (2006 T494) and are considered as Treasure separately (see 2007 T600). This, the fifth coin, appears to represent an addendum to the North Dalton Roman hoard (see 2006T148 and 2007 T185).The coin is a Roman silver denarius of Titus (emperor AD 79-81), struck during the reign of his father Vespasian (emperor AD 69-79). As such, it is entirely in keeping with the earlier groups of Roman coins from North Dalton, which included a variety of issues dating from between the reigns of Galba (AD 68-69) and Marcus Aurelius (AD 161-180).The new coin is:1. Titus, under Vespasian, AD 77-78Obv: [T C]AESAR [V]ESPASIANVSRev: CE[RES AVGVST]RIC 2.i (2nd ed.) 974, 3.03gThe type and circumstances of discovery, as reported, suggest that this coin formed part of the same hoard as the earlier finds (2006T148 and 2007T185) at the time of its deposition in antiquity.I conclude that this find constitutes a prima facie case of treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996).Ian Leins
