Silver Iron Age unit. Very worn. Probably Tinnocommios. Obv: Head facing right. TINCO Rev: Eagle with wings spread standing on snake. Tincommios was joint ruler of the Atrebates kingdom, firstly with his father, Commios the Younger, and later with his younger brother, Eppilus. Tincommios chose to rule the southern sections of the kingdom, which proved to be a mistake as the town of Calleva (Silchester) under his brothers rule became recognised by the Romans as the main centre of Artebatum power. Eppilus overthrew his brother from power in BC 7, and Tincommios fled to Rome to p…

A slightly worn 1st-century BC gold Iron Age quarter stater of the Early Uninscribed 'O' - 'Geometric' type (c. 80-60 BC; Hobbs 414ff.; VA 1225). This is a common variant of the standard O type: see, for example HAMP-D07677, CCI-96155, CCI-941047, CCI-930961, CCI-930502 on this database. The pale colour of the metal suggests this may be a contemporary copy in a silver-gold mix.

The bow bends at 90 degrees just above the head, beyond this it curves back…

Object type: RING
Broad period: IRON AGE
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy ring. The ring is circular in section. Two transverse grooves are just visible aournd the outside. It has an outer diameter of 17mm and an inner diameter of 11mm. The thickness of the ring ranges from 4mm at its thickest, to 3mm at its thinnest. Although cast copper alloy beads with similar transverse grooves are known from the Bronze Age to Roman periods, the distinct and apparently deliberate difference between the two sides may suggest this is a suspension or harness loop which has been worn through use, rather than an Iron Age bead.
