Object type: COIN HOARD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Denbighshire
Workflow stage: Published
Description of find A fused stack of fifteen Roman copper-alloy coins. Where the stack has fragmented, partial identifications are possible. The coins include issues around A.D. 348-50 (Constans or Constantius II) and of the usurping emperors Magnentius and Decentius (in Gaul, 350-3), some of whose issues bear a prominent Chi-Rho symbol in their designs. No associated finds were reported. The coins comprise alloys of copper, with no significant precious-metal content. However, the number found, clearly in association, suggests that the coins form treasure.
