TREASURE CASE : 2016 T684 Description: An almost complete gold finger-ring. The hoop is made of a strip with a central plain band flanked by beaded bands.

The box bezel is soldered onto the hoop, and has a base made from a roughly diamond-shaped sheet that projects onto the underside of the hoop. The walls of the bezel wer…

A Gold semissis of the House of Constantine (Constantius II or Constans as Caesar) dating to AD 335. VICTORIA CAESARVM reverse type depiciting Victory advancing left holding wreath and palm. Mint of Siscia. This type is recorded for a solidus (RIC VII, p. 457, cf. 248-9), but not a semissis (see RIC VII, p. 457, nos. 250-1 for other types). This therefore appears to be the first example of this particular coins.
