Description: | sceatta, of Continental type attributed to first two decades of 8th century, imitating English mints but with a double-reverse and with garbled legends. The Type 8 is related to the Series D Type 2c, especially associated with finds at Domburg, a prominent trading entrepot near the former mouth of the Rhine. Whereas Type 2c (the more numerous) has a generally eastern English distribution, Type 8 (less numerous) is especially well-recorded in East Anglia, but also around the Thames and in south Yorkshire, shadowing the Type 2c distribution. Metcalf (Vol 2 p.193) suggests a mint slightly south-west of Domburg on the Belgian coast, or perhaps in the Upper Meuse Valley. These coins reached England by North Sea trade, and are absent from Southampton and the south coast. Reference is made to the Aston Rowant and Remmerden hoards, in which examples occur. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 700
