Two objects found while metal detecting in the area near Snettisham and Sedgeford, an area well known for discoveries of Iron Age gold and silver torcs, coins, other objects and metalworking debris. Fragment cut from a sub-triangular ingot or bar (section 16mm x 10 mm; weight 11.42g). Scientific analysis of the surface indicates a metal content of 95% silver. Irregular plano-convex ‘bun-shaped’ ingot (Diam. 24 mm, height 11 mm; weight 27.03g). Scientific analysis of the surface indicates a metal content of leaded bronze. Object 1 is similar to several fragments from b…

Object type: COIN HOARD
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Description: 54 silver denarii ranging in date from issues of the Roman Republic to those of Tiberius. The coins were found scattered over a relatively small area and represent additions to the first part of this hoard found in 2012 (NMS-A00F04). As with the first part of the hoard, dating is difficult and all that can be safely said is that this hoard was deposited at some point from the Roman invasion of Britain in AD43 and the Boudiccan revolt in 61. The lack of any coins of either Caligula or Claudius in this second batch perhaps suggests that the deposition or loss of this hoard l…

Broad period: IRON AGE

Workflow stage: Published
59 silver denarii ranging in date from issues of the Roman Republic to those of Tiberius. The coins were found scattered over a relatively small area and clearly represent part of a hoard scattered by agricultural activity. Wear patterns are consistent with this, the older coins generally being the most worn. Dating is difficult and one's initial reaction is to connect this hoard to the Roman invasion of AD43. However, the latest coins, those of Tiberius, still show some wear and had plainly circulated for a number of years. It seems more likely, on the balance of probabilities, that …

Two Iron Age East Anglian silver units of pattern-horse types, the reverse sides of which were found accreted together. These are traditionally attributed to the Iceni, who are known to have inhabited an area covering Norfolk and parts of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire in the Roman period (and perhaps before). The coins were brought to the British Museum in November 2012, where they were separated by the Department of Conservation and Scientific Research. They are now identified as follows: East Anglian pattern-horse silver unit. The reverse was too worn for the type to be fully ide…
