Description: | An incomplete struck/ hammered silver denarius (diameter: 17mm; thickness: 1.1mm; weight: 1.35g). The obverse is worn but still has a clear inscription, which is only partly visible due to the coin being broken down one edge. The reverse is completely worn with numerous old scratches, possibly suggesting that the coin had been deliberately marked/ scratched to smooth the surface. The reason behind this is unknown. The coin was minted by Caracalla (198-217 AD) or Elagabalus (218-222 AD). | 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: | 198
