Description: | A pair of highly worn and corroded 3rd-century copper-alloy Roman radiates, now fused together by their reverses as a result of corrosion. One is of an uncertain Gallic emperor, reverse and mint (c. 269 - c. 274 AD; Reece issue period 13), the other probably an irregular coin imitating Claudius II, uncertain reverse and mint (c. 275 - c. 285 AD; Reece issue period 14). The larger coin is the Gallic emperor radiate with a maximum extant length of 20.55mm, width of 18.7mm and thickness of c. 1.3mm. It has also suffered some slight losses to its circumference. The probable 'barbarous radiate' measures 19.5 by 16.5, and is thick at c. 2.2mm. Together the coins weigh 6.77g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
