On the outer side of the sherd is part of a simple design consisting of a horizontal groove with four vertical grooves depending from it at equidistant intervals. There is a further, curved groove, but this is likely to be the result of damage and not part of the design.The sherd is 62mm long, 47.9m…

A slightly worn copper-alloy Roman radiate 'minim' coin of an uncertain third century ruler (c. AD 260-296). The 'minim' is formed by the cutting down of the larger radiate coin. The obverse depicts a clearly defined radiate crown and curled hair facing right, whilst the reverse possibly depicts the body of an animal moving right, with two short back legs to the left of the coin. It is possible that there are two arching lines above the animal's body indicating horns, such as those found on reverse types of Gallienus (AD 260-268). The detail on the obverse suggests the use of a non-b…
