Hoard 1 from Housesteads. Brickstock and Casey in Rushworth ed. 2009, 375 describe the hoard thus: " found during the 1974-81 excavations, in topsoil in the interval tower on the eastern sector of the north wall (H20:6:0). The find was described as comprising a purse (SF No. 4565) of badly corroded coins (SF No. 4566). These items are now missing and only one coin, of Julia Mamaea, was identified before the loss. Assuming this to have been a denarius, though there is no certainty, the hoard may have dated to the reign of Severus Alexander (AD 222-35) or even Gordian III (AD 238-44)."
