Two silver denarii, both in relatively crisp condition. Apart from siliquae from the second half of the 4th century and nummi from the 330s onwards, no other Roman coins have so far been found in this field. This fact, combined with the closeness of these two coins to one another in date and condistion, makes it very likely that they went into the ground together, either as part of a purse loss or a larger, concealed hoard. The two coins are: 1. Silver denarius of Elagabalus, Rome, reverse P M TR P IIII COS III P P, Sol advancing left with whip, star in left field, RIC IV.2, 40, we…

Obverse: [...]INVS PIVS AVG, bust right Reverse: V[...], Victory advancing right Weight 4.26g, AD235-8. The coin has clearly been deeply bitten by a blow from a chisel and then snapped. Whilst this might have been done in order to furnish a fractional coin, it is far more likely that it represents evidence for melting down cut aes (large bronze denominations) in order t…

Denarius of Diva Paulina, wife of Maximian I (AD 235-8), dating to AD 236 (Reece Period 11), CONSECRATIO, Peacock facing with spread tail. Mint of Rome. RIC IV, pt 2, p. 153, cf. no. 1; BMC VI, p. 233, cf. no. 135. weight 2.73g, The recorder suggested that the black colouring means it might be a cast copy, but the features seem sharp and the surface does not immediately suggest casting. However, the A above Paulina's head does merge with the beading and the overall look of the coin is quite glossy. Finally, the weight of 2.73g is slightly light, three denarii in the British Museum we…
