Object type: COIN HOARD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The eight coins were discovered dispersed over a small area.
The group comprises eight silver denarii. The earliest is of Julia Domna, whilst the latest are of the last members of the Severan dynasty, Elagabalus, Severus Alexander, Julia Soaemias, Julia Maesa and Julia Paula. None show much signs of wear although some are rather accreted due to the low silver content of the coins. It seems likely that the eight coins went into the ground together, either lost as part of a purse, or concealed as a hoard. This loss or deposition, on the basis of the condition of the coins, presumably…

All the coins are a mixture of first and second century AD copper alloy denominations known as sestertii, dupondii and asses (1 sestertius = 2 dupondii and 1 dupondius = 2 asses).and are mostly worn in appearance. The first eleven coins were found in May 2010 and an addendum of six more in May 2013.

The group stretches from the late first century AD (a worn coin of the Emperor Domitian) to the late Severan dynasty (a sestertius of Severus Alexander of AD22…

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
The group comprises four silver denarii. The earliest, showing some wear, is of Domitian whilst the other three are in crisper condition and show very little signs of circulation. All of these three date to the reign of Antoninus Pius. It seems likely that the four coins went into the ground together, either lost as part of a purse, or concealed as a hoard. This loss or deposition, on the basis of the condition of the coins, presumably occurred in the 150s or 160s. Catalogue Domitian (RIC II, 241), 77-8 Antoninus Pius (RIC III, 63Ba), 140-3 Antoninus Pius (RIC III, 76c), 140-3 Antonin…

Object type: PENDANT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
A gold solidus of the emperor Theodosius I struck at Milan between 378 and 387 (Roman Imperial Coinage vol. IX, no. 5f or 8b). The coin has been fitted with a ribbed suspension loop, also of gold, at the 12 o'clock position on the obverse (6 o'clock on the reverse) in order for it to serve as a pendant. This process is well known from the early Saxon period when many Roman gold coins were thus treated.
Coin dated to 378-87, suspension loop added from the fifth to early seventh century.

Silver finger ring of Henig's type XI with wide bezel set with an oval disc showing a scene in relief.

A silver ring from Great Walsingham features a sim…

Fragments of silver snake finger-ring of Johns (1996) Type C, a form "which incorporates two or more complete snakes in the design" (Johns 1997, 35-7): two lengths of wire, both with a snake-head terminal and one end missing, form a loose reef knot .
