Description: | Seven Roman coins, discovered between December 2011 and December 2012 in a small area of a field. The group comprises one gold solidus and six siliquae. Most of the siliquae are clipped to a lesser or greater extent. Siliquae are rare as stray finds and this group, together with the gold solidus, clearly represent a dispersed hoard of Late Roman gold and silver. The silver coins have seen some wear and the fact that most are quite heavily clipped would seem to place the date of deposition a few years into the fifth century, probably circa 410. The coins are:Theodosius, solidus, mint of Trier, RIC IX, 90b, weight 4.51g, 388-92Arcadius, siliqua, mint of Milan, RIC IX, 27a, weight 0.96g, 388-93House of Theodosius, siliqua, reverse VIRTVS ROMANORVM, further details illegible, weight 1.07g, 393-402Honorius, siliqua, mint of Milan, RIC IX, 32, weight 0.77g, 393-402House of Valentinian, reverse VOT/X/MVLT/XX in wreath, further details illegible, weight 0.80g, 367-78Honorius, irregular siliqua, reverse VIRTVS ROMANORVM, weight 0.60g (in two pieces and with missing fragment), c.393-402House of Theodosius, probably Honorius, siliqua, reverse VIRTVS ROMANORVM, further details illegible, weight 0.89g, 393-402
