Description: | Group of 13 Late Roman coins excavated from the same hole; the finder asserts the objects form a single group. Some coins show evidence of having been overlapped by others. However, the suspected date-range suspected tends to militate against this: either parts of two superimposed or juxtaposed hoards have been retrieved together, or some other agency of site formation obtains - for example prolonged deposition at a well, spring or temple.The coins are provisionally described thus:1: Copper alloy Coin.
