Notes
Potsherds in Lincoln, 8 coins in BM. NB reported in TAR as 436 coins but the Poemenius coins appear to have been counted twice in the original summary. CHRB XII should be correct. Photos of selected coins in BM. The latest coins are FTR small module coins of Constantius II from Lyon (RIC 189) and imitations of this type.
