A Roman copper-alloy radiate or nummus of uncertain ruler dating to the period c. AD 260-402 (uncertain Reece Period). Unclear reverse type. Mint unclear.
This coin has suffered a small loss to its circumference.
Found at the same time as a hoard of 138 Roman bronze coins placed under a stone (Treasure case 2013 T73a). These coins, found scattered from the rest of the field, appear to be a mixture of Roman copper-alloy denominations dating from across most of the four centuries of Roman rule over Britain.
Age
All are of Roman date and therefore over 300 years old.
Metal content
They are all essentially base metal in composition (copper alloy).
From the same find?
This group of coins has the appearance of an accumulation of losses from different periods over the course of the second to fourth centuries AD. It spans a wider period than is likely for a hoard deposited in, say, the late fourth century and contains a mixture of denominations. The coins were therefore probably not deposited together as a hoard but instead form a series of technically separate finds as a result of random deposition over a period of time. As such, these coins do not appear to constitute Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 which require that coins must be from the same find.
