Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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…
