Clipped silver siliqua, probably of Gratian (367-83), VRBS ROMA, probably Trier or Aquileia, AD 375-8. RIC IX, c.f. Trier 46b/64a and Aquileia 15b. It is possible that this is a barbarous imitation. The original record states it is base metal, but this might not be the case as the coin is clipped.

A large flint flake, with evidence of secondary working / retouch, probably dating to the later (upper) Palaeolithic period (40,000 -8,300 BC). The flake is irregular in both plan and profile. The ventral (reverse) face of the flake exhibits a small bulb of percussion; however, the wave like ripples from the blow cannot be seen. Above the bulb of percussion is a small striking platform. The dorsal (upper) face has also a number of scars where flakes have been removed. This has left the body of the flint flake with several dish-like scars. The dorsal also has two areas of cortex (the ou…
