Description and dimensions: Fragment of a silver siliqua of Jovian, reverse Vota in wreath, heavily clipped so that mintmark and further details are illegible, minted AD 363-4. Weight 0.54g. Heavily clipped with some wear. Discussion and date: Two previous coins from this hoard, recorded at NMS-61F8C7 (2012T402) were minted slightly later but are equally heavily clipped, a practice that seems to belong to the very last years of the 4th century and the early years of the 5th. Siliquae are rare as stray finds, and, since all are heavily clipped and patterns of wear are consist…

Description: 10 copper-alloy Roman coins and two iron objects (photo attached). The coins are in poor condition, and quite accreted, so it's difficult to make out the surface details, but likely to be later Roman given their size. One appears to be perforated, so may have been reused. One of the iron objects is socketed with a single nail hole and would have been hafted - probably an agricultural implement of some kind but needs x-ray to get a clearer view.  The other iron object is a nail. Discussion and conclusions: The coins and iron objects were deliberately deposited wit…

They are: 1) Gallienus, radiate, Rome, reverse illegible, AD260-8 2) Claudius II, Rome, reverse GENIO EXERCI, Genius left, AD268-70 The coins surely went into the ground together but, being copper alloy and only two in number, do not qualify as Treasure.
