Description of find Ninety-seven Roman coins, dating to the third century A.D.: seven denarii and ninety 'radiates' (double-denarii). A summary list is appended. There are no associated objects. Metal content The coins, in principle silver issues, span a period of debasement during which the silver content dropped from around fifty per cent Ag to issues which to all intents and purposes are of copper alloys (typical silver contents are indicated on the list of coins). Discussion The coins were found within a limited area and therefore it is more likely than not that the…

Description of find A fused stack of fifteen Roman copper-alloy coins. Where the stack has fragmented, partial identifications are possible. The coins include issues around A.D. 348-50 (Constans or Constantius II) and of the usurping emperors Magnentius and Decentius (in Gaul, 350-3), some of whose issues bear a prominent Chi-Rho symbol in their designs. No associated finds were reported. The coins comprise alloys of copper, with no significant precious-metal content. However, the number found, clearly in association, suggests that the coins form treasure.

One hundred and eighteen Roman copper-alloy coins, principally from the first half of the 4th century A.D. (see appended list). These may be summarised as follows: Late third century, 2; House of Constantine I; pre-330, 7; 330-35, 79; 335-40, 19; 340-8, 4; 348-50, 2; uncertain, 5. The coins are all of copper alloys containing less than ten per cent of silver by weight. A series of finds from the same general area, comprising pottery and metalwork, was submitted for examination as potentially originally associated with the coins: see reports by Peter Webster and Evan Chapman, attache…

An associated group of three silver Roman Republican denarii: 1. C. Licinius L.F. Macer, Rome c.84 BC; Crawford 354/1; 2.51g, worn and corroded 2. L. Mussidius Longus, Rome c.41 BC; Crawford 494/42; 2.09g, worn and corroded 3. uncertain Republican moneyer; 2.91g worn and corroded. Silver coins of the Roman Republic formed a significant part of Roman currency until the beginning of the second century A.D. until withdrawn under the emperor Trajan (98-117). From their worn state, it would appear that these coins formed a small sum, lost at some point in the first century A.D.…
