Description
Robertson 2000, 142 no. 633:
""The writer has thirteen small brass coins, which were lately in the possession of a resident at Weston. They are of the following Imperators and usurpers, viz. Herennius Etruscus, Trebonianus Gallus, Valerianus, Victorinus, Gallienus, Claudius Gothicus, Postumus, Marius and Tetricus.
From the appearance of these coins and from their being struck within a period of little over twenty years, it is believed that they formed part of one of the hoards which were found some years since in that neighbourhood."
-A.H. Skelton, in Proc. Hants. Field Club, I (1885), 43"
