Description of find
Six Roman silver denarii: all are to a degree encrusted or corroded.

Description of find
Ninety-seven Roman coins, dating to the third century A.D.: seven denarii and ninety 'radiates' (double-denarii). A summary list is appended. There are no associated objects.
Metal content
The coins, in principle silver issues, span a period of debasement during which the silver content dropped from around fifty per cent Ag to issues which to all intents and purposes are of copper alloys (typical silver contents are indicated on the list of coins).
Discussion
The coins were found within a limited area and therefore it is more likely than not that the…

One hundred and five Roman coins of the third century A.D., with a date range c. 255-286. The coins have not been cleaned: for the most part they are corroded and cannot be catalogued in full detail. The coins are all of the type known today as 'radiates' (from the form of headgear of the imperial portraits). A summary list by reign can be seen below.
Several other objects submitted by the finder were all found in the same general area. These have been examined by Mr Evan Chapman of AC-NMW. The copper-alloy vessel appears to have been placed in the ground upside-down, surviving o…

Two fragments of a very badly worn Roman silver coin. The obverse shows what appears to be a clean shaven male head facing left. Only the face and the front of the neck have survived, most of the head is missing. There are no other decipherable elements to the obverse and no inscription appears to have survived.
The reverse shows what appears to be the pointed prow of a ship or galley with suggestions of oars projecting down on the near side and a 'composite' ram on the front clearly visible. Part of what may be the sail is visible as a series of small raised squares rising above t…
