Description

31 nummi to Magnentius. TAR 2005-6, 1123; NC 2006, 27

Treasure numbers associated with this hoard: 2005 T043

Notes

This small nummus hoard consists of coins made after the reform of 348. The Antonine dupondius / as and one modern coin (?18th century) should be treated as stray finds. Not connected to West Wycombe I (2005 T121), an Antonine period denarius hoard. Poor condition.
