Description: | Leintwardine, HerefordshireSarah Deacon[1] & Peter Reavill[2]18 AR denarii to AD 59 Reece Period 3: NeroianBM ref.: 2012 T436PAS ref.: HESH-F18E50Circumstances of discoveryFound by a metal detectorist on a slight raised and flattened plateau at one end of a field that had been heavily disturbed through cultivation. The coins were spread over a considerable distance (c. 80 metres square) and found piecemeal over a period of about 6 months. Several of the coins are broken, probably as a result of modern cultivation. There is a high probability of a further discovery of coins at this site, although these are likely to be small in number - and may include parts of the broken coins reported herein.SummaryRepublican (211 BC - 27) 11Augustus (27 BC - AD 14) 1Tiberius (AD 14 - 37) 5Nero (AD 54 - 68) 1Total 18CATALOGUEDenariiREPUBLICAN (11)No.Obv.Rev.RRCQty.Wt.
