Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

Six Roman silver denarii fused together and badly damaged in places. The coins are positioned so that they overlap slightly with one near the centre protruding slightly further out. An obverse is visible on each outer coin and have been identified as follows

Denarius of Hadrian [..] IAN[HA]DRIANVSAVG 117-138

Denarius of Trajan (prob ), no inscription showing, badly

damaged on right hand side. Reverse shows N?VN 98-117

The central coin shows the partial inscription [..] HADRIAN[VS]

Reverse type standing female with cornucopia, partial inscription COS

As these are the only datable components they provide a probable date range of 98-138.
