Description

Robertson 2000, 270 no. 1128A:

"A small hoard of 17 Constantinian coins was found at Sutton by a metal detector user [...] who has worked with the Hull City Museums and East Riding archaeologists, and who presented the 17 coins to the Hull City Museums. The 17 coins, all AE, were of Constantine I (2), Constantine II, Caes. (4), Constantinopolis (2), Urbs Roma (6), and House of Constantine I (3). Apart from the Constantinopolis and Urbs Roma coins, the rev. types were all of the GLORIA EXERCITVS, 2 stand., issues. The recognisable mintmarks were of Trier, Lyons and Arles.
