On the balance of probabilities, therefore, I conclude that these coins belong together as a hoard (a group of coins left behind from one deposit) and constitute a prima facie case of treasure by being of an antiquity greater than 300 years and are of one find of more than ten pieces of base composition. The pot fragments should be considered likewise by virtue of their association with the coins.

For full catalogue and details of the excavation please contact the Somerset FLO.
The find consists of 3335 base silver coins of the second and third centuries AD. 165 of which are denarii (which had been the principle Roman denomination during the first two centuries of Roman Britain) and the rest are radiates, the denarius-multiple (probably a double denarius) first introduced in AD 215 and which began to take over as the main denomination in the course of the third century. In addition, there are four large brass coins of a denomination known as a sestertius: four such sestertii being the equivalent value of one silver denarius.
The final coins in the group date to about AD 270, a time when Roman Britain was part of a group of rebellious provinces under the rule of a rival 'emperor' (to the one in Italy) sometimes called the 'Gallic Empire.'

From the Same Find?
The coins were lifted en masse and when treated in the conservation lab at the BM some were found to be fused together in rolls with remains of cloth and string preserved in the corrosion products; good physical evidence that they were buried together in antiquity. A large amount of potsherds from what had once been a sizable greyware vessel (locally made utilitarian pottery) was also discovered with the coin. With some traces of corrosion product - leaving some coin-shaped shadows - it was likely to have been the method of storage for the hoard.
Metal content?
Numismatically, this group of coins could all have circulated together in the third century AD. Coins issued prior to the reign of the emperor Septimius Severus (AD 193-211), whose major debasement of the silver coinage made earlier coin attractive to those wishing to remove them to take advantage of their higher silver content, are almost absent and this fits a known pattern for British hoards deposited as this time. The single coin present of Antoninus Pius (AD 138-61) would, on past scientific tests of similar specimens, be somewhere in the region of 80-90% silver. Those of Severus are less than half silver, necessitating the 'enrichment' of the surface by chemically leaching out the baser material from the blank prior to striking with the coin dies. Fineness subsequently drops throughout the century until issues of AD 270 contain only a few per cent - disguised by applied silver 'wash' to the surface.

Treasure case 2013 T813: Disclaimed, returned to finder
Description: Fragment of Roman silver finger ring which has been broken at the shoulders with the hoop missing. The fragment is a flat oval in section with only slightly convex external and internal faces and rounded edges. The bezel is oval, thicker and wider than the hoop or shoulders and flat on top. It is not stepped up in thickness above the shoulders and is only defined by indented triangles at each corner running in from each edge. Any engraved decoration on the bezel is now illegible. The fragment narrows gradually and consistently from the bezel to the breaks.
Dimensions: It is now 17.2mm long, 2.8mm thick at the bezel and weighs 1.87 grams.
Discussion: The simple shape of the ring, relatively flat oval section and a lack of any distinguishing later features, such as a carination or expanded shoulders, means that it is probably a Henig type III, dating to the period AD 50 - 150 (Henig 2006, 4).
Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.

Treasure case 2014 T194: disclaimed, returned to finders
Circumstances of Find
Found while metal-detecting on four separate occasions by Mr [redacted] (09/03/14, 11/03/14, 06/07/14, 09/07/14) and Mr [redacted] (29/06/14).
Description of Find
The find consists of 6 silver coins of the second century AD. They are all denarii (which had been the principle Roman silver denomination during the first two centuries of Roman Britain). The final coin in the group dates to the rule of Severus Alexander, giving a TPQ of AD 235 for the group.
The coins were found spread over some distance. Coins 3, 4 and 5 in particular were separated from the others by modern field boundaries, a steep slope and a modern road. However the distance between the two groups is only 125 metres at the shortest and 250 metres at the greatest and it is suggested the coins in the lower field could have spread down there before the modern road and boundaries were in place. However, other contemporary silver coins found in the wider area have been discounted, as discussed below.
Summary denarii
Septimius Severus (AD 193-211) 2
Caracalla (AD 198-217) -
Julia Domna 2
Elagabalus (AD 218-222) -
Julia Maesa 1
Severus Alexander (AD 222-35) 1
Total 6
It is noted that three further denarii have been recorded from the fields lying to the east of the fields in which these six coins were found. These are coins of Caracalla, Julia Maesa (probably) and Maximinus I, and are detailed separately in the filed report and catalogues seperately on this database. Though they fall within the date range given by the group of six they are separated both by distance (over 1km in one case), an upward slope, and by modern field boundaries. A small valley which partially lies between the closest of these three (that of ?Julia Maesa) and the main group would also suggest spread though ploughing and ground movement is less likely. They are therefore interpreted as site finds within a background of contemporary coin loss in these fields and are not considered part of the group.

Kingsdon, SOMERSET
2 AR siliquae to c. AD 364
Circumstances of discovery
The hoard was found by Mr. [redacted] in 2014, prior to 13th August 2014, whilst metal-detecting on pasture that had previously been disturbed. The two coins were found at a depth of c. 2-3" in the same field, amongst a large number of contemporary coins in base metal.
Description of the find
The find consists of two silver siliquae. The latest coin is, notably, a contemporary copy of Jovian issued c. AD 363-364; this is commented on below by Sam Moorhead. Both coins are damaged, but appear to be unclipped.
Silver siliquae for Jovian from Lyon are very rare. RIC records them with the mintmark PLVG* (RIC VIII, p. 196, no. 241). However, the Whitwell hoard (1992) coin and PAS SUSS-F74487 are two examples of coins with LVG. PLVG is not recorded. Furthermore, and most importantly, the style of this coin, notably the reverse lettering, is crude. However, still a very interesting coin which appears to be of a reasonable silver content.
