Penhallurick 2009, 269: "The museum on St Mary's has three sestertii found in a midden layer on the southern shoreline of Tean in 1956. Accompanying pottery indicated an occupation from the first to the fourth centuries and included sherds of samian ware and a bronze brooch (Thomas 1985, p.183)". He notes that the second sestertius of Marcus Aurelius listed here may have been turned into a brooch (bronze adhered to the bottom of the reverse), though this has not been verified.
