Description: | All of the present coins are Roman silver coins of a denomination known as the denarius (plural denarii). The earliest was a coin of Vespasian. The latest closely dated issue is of Marcus Aurelius with a combination of the emperor's titles for the year 172; although also present was a coin of his empress Faustina II which could have been struck anytime up until her death in 176. In terms of composition this group of coins is consistent with other hoards of this period. The coins can be summarised as follows:Summary: Emperor Quantity Vespasian, 69-79AD 1 Domitian, 81-96AD 1Trajan, 98-117AD 3Hadrian, 117-138AD 3Sabina 1Antoninus Pius, 138-161AD -Diva Faustina I 1Marcus Aurelius, 161-180AD 1Divus Pius 1 Faustina II 1Irregular (plated coin of Domitian) 1
