Description: | TREASURE CASE 2009 T614 Roman coin hoardThe hoard consists of 9 nummi, dating to AD 355. The original hoard does not qualify under ther Treasure Act (1996) due to an insufficent number of base metal coins. Please see addendum below, where an additional coin was reported, taking the number up to 10 nummi.Report By Richard Abdy, The British Museum.CATALOGUENote All the coins were fragmentary and full identification was not possible. Two fragments do not appear to have been part of the hoard. Their pale green patinas are of quite different appearance to the rest of the assemblage and one is possibly part of a Flavian as.The following abbreviations are used for the names of the rulers:Cs Constantius II M Magnentius D DecentiusMAGNENTIAN, AD 350-353 VICTORIAE DD NN AVG ET CAE(S)Trier:Obverse: M/D (A behind bust).

The coin is in poor condition, with damage to the outer edge.Obverse: Bust, right. A behind bustReverse: Two Victories holding shield inscribed VOT/V/MVLT/XMint mark: [ ]Die axis: 6 o'clock.Diameter: 19.64mmWeight: 3.01 grams.Discussion: This coin takes the quantity of this particular type within the hoard up to 3. (See original catalogue under "VICTORIAE DD NN AVG ET CAE(S) - uncertain mint, number 2).The original report consisted of 9 nummi (and two earlier coins); and as such the hoard did not qualify under the stipulations of the Treasure Act (1996). The additional coin is of the same type as those in the hoard, and is therefore likely to be from the same deposit. With the hoard now consisting of 10 base metal coins, this single coin would now qualify as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act (1996) paragraph 16.Disposition: Disclaimed | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
