Description: | Five silver denarii and one silver radiate, found in a close area and running in a straight line as if scattered by the plough. One, a coin of Vespasian, is heavily worn whilst the others, coins of Septimius Severus and his family, were relatively crisp. They form a discrete group in terms of date and denomination and there seems no doubt that they represent part of a dispersed hoard. Catalogue Vespasian, denarius, perhaps RIC 10, 69-71 Caracalla, denarius, RIC 10 or 11, 196-8 Caracalla, denarius, RIC 65, 202 Septimius Severus, denarius, RIC 266, 202-10 Julia Domna, denarius, RIC 548, 196-211 Caracalla, radiate, RIC 311c, 213-7 The latest coin is a radiate crowned antoninianus of Caracalla dated to 213-7. It is in good, fairly unworn condition. This suggests a deposition or loss date for the hoard somewhere in the third or fourth decade of the third century.
