A miscast and unfinished Dolphin brooch with undecorated shallow 'C' sectioned wings which are partially filled with miscast metal, with the stub of a possible hook at the top where there is a further miscast protrusion. The D-sectioned bow is decorated with a median longitudinal groove with raised sides, the lower half of the bow has an irregular surface, again due to miscasting.

Object type: HOARD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Treasure report by Adrian Marsden: A hoard of cu alloy objects found in close association with one another and very close to a radiate imitation manufacturer's hoard found in November 2004 (see file). These comprise two RB bracelets and 10 sestertii of the second century. The coins, where condition at deposition can be ascertained, were all heavily worn, suggesting a mid-third century date. This suggests that both bracelets and coins were intended for melting down to produce radiate imitations, a theory made more likely by the fact that one sestertius appears to have had pieces cut…

Object type: HOARD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Five silver denarii and one silver radiate, found in a close area and running in a straight line as if scattered by the plough. One, a coin of Vespasian, is heavily worn whilst the others, coins of Septimius Severus and his family, were relatively crisp. They form a discrete group in terms of date and denomination and there seems no doubt that they represent part of a dispersed hoard.
Catalogue:
1) Vespasian, denarius, perhaps RIC 10, AD 69-71
2) Caracalla, denarius, RIC 10 or 11, AD 196-8
3) Caracalla, denarius, RIC 65, AD 202

Object type: COIN HOARD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Two late Roman silver siliquae, both rather heavily clipped, one of Theodosius and the other of Honorius. The coins have a little wear but not much. The phenomenon of clipping siliquae seems to belong to the very last years of the 4th century and the early years of the 5th. The latest coin was struck between 395 and 402, suggesting a date of loss or deposition in the early years of the 5th century.

Theodosius, siliqua, heavily clipped, reverse VOT/X/MVLT/XX in wreath, further details illegible, weight 0.70g, AD383-95

Incomplete gold sheet object, comprising two joining fragments, probably an earring of Roman date. It is in the shape of a round-shouldered or 'kite-shaped' shield, bent (and probably folded and then unfolded), with three vertical creases and broken along two probable horizontal creases. There is a small perforated lug in the same plane at the apex. The pointed lower end of the shield is missing, and approximately just over half survives. The original edges have a border, perhaps added to reinforce the flimsy sheet.
