Workflow stage: Published

A gold Roman solidus of Constantius II, c.350-355 AD. Reverse: GLORIA-REI-PVBLICA, Roma and Constantinopolis enthroned. Roma facing holding spear in left hand, Constantinopolis left with sceptre in left hand and right foot resting on prow. Between them a wreath inscribed VOT/XXX/MVLT/XXXX. As RIC 8 no. 147, however the reverse type and particularly the lettering of the legend, which should read GLORIA REI PVBLICAE, suggest that this is an ancient copy rather than an official issue (R. Bland & P. Walton pers. comm.).
At the start of the reign of Valentinian I (AD 364-75), the gold co…

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A Roman gold solidus of Arcadius, contemporary copy, c.383-408 AD. Reverse: CONCORDI-A AVGGGe, Constantinopolis seated facing, head right, holding sceptre and Victory on globe, foot on prow. It is similar to RIC 10 no. 7 but has the wrong obverse type with blundered lettering in both obverse and reverse legends. Roger Bland and Sam Moorhead (PAS/British Museum) have examined the coin and suggest that this is probably a contemporary copy of an official solidus of Arcadius.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A complete gold object which may have functioned as a finger ring or some sort of mount. The object is now distorted but is formed of a band of gold, one third of which is rectangular and flat in section with a central longitudinal groove with straight vertical tiny grooves across this. Either end of this flat band flares into a wider decorative openwork panel, also rectangular in over-all shape but defined by beaded filigree along its borders with a continuous piece of beaded gold wire running between the borders forming a wavy line. This would have been openwork originally but is no…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Description: A gold probable finger ring now distorted, consisting of a slender twisted ribbon of gold with tiny flat-backed snake heads in low relief at the terminals. The rendering of the snake heads is reduced to a pattern of swellings, curves and lines. Discussion: This finger ring is probably of Catherine John's type Bii (Johns, 1997, 36, fig 9), being of penannular form with two confronted snakes head terminals. It is similar in style to over thirty examples from the Snettisham hoard. However, these are all in silver, indeed no published example in gold of type Bii could b…
