Coin
Unique ID: ESS-F8A767
Object type certainty: Certain
Roman gold aureus of Tiberius AD14-37, PONTIF MAXIM, Mint of Lyon, AD14-37. RIC I, no. 29; BMC I, no. 46
Notes:
15 gold aurei of this type struck for Tiberius were found in the Bredgar Hoard in 1957. The hoard of 34 coins ended with coins of Claudius dated AD41-2, so it has been suggested that the hoard was buried by a soldier during or shortly after the Claudian landings at Richborough in AD43.
This has been noted as an interesting find by the recorder.
