Description: | A hoard of 134 copper alloy Roman nummi, mostly 4th century. What follows is an extract of the report written by Dr. Eleanor Ghey of the Department of Coins & Medals, British Museum.The coins are a mixed group but the majority (66 identifiable coins) are Valentinianic nummi and some later nummi dating up to AD 402. The group also included a worn sestertius of Antonine date, two radiates of Claudius II and a number of earlier nummi. The majority of coins were worn but the composition and spatial proximity of the group probably reflects that of a scattered late Roman hoard.Summary London Trier Lyons Arles Aquileia Siscia Uncertain Total Sestertius 1 1 Radiate AD 268-270 2 2 Early nummus AD 310-312 1 1 Gloria Exercitus (2) etc. AD 330-5 2 5 7 Gloria Exercitus (2) etc. AD 335-340 2 3 5 Two Victories etc AD 347-348 7 1 8 Magnentian AD 350-3 1 1 Post Magnentian AD 354-363 1 6 7 Valentinianic AD 364-378 5 22 1 1 37 66 AD 387-402 1 10 11 Irregular 10 10 Illegible 15 15 Total 1 12 5 23 1 1 91 134 | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
