A third century scattered coin hoard. The coins are all late third century ‘radiates’ with the exception of several worn and fragmentary bronze coins of the first to third century AD and illegible late Roman base metal coins that cannot be closely dated.

The group does not appear to include any official coins post-dating the reforms of Aurelian in AD 274, though some contemporary copies o…

The linch pin terminal is cast copper alloy. The external face is a circular 'disc' with rounded edges. The surface of this 'disc' has a sub-circular central hole, through which the iron pin is visible. The 'disc' is sub-circular due to a flattening of the edges on opposite edges. This flattening occurred in antquity as the patina covers these areas. Protruding from the reverse of this 'disc' there is an integral narrowed, circular sectioned cylinder which is most narrow in the centre. On the side of this cylinder there is a circular ?indentation or hole…
