English: East Staffordshire area
Eleanor Ghey & Richard Abdy 34 Roman coins to AD 269 BM ref.: 2011 T903 PAS ref.: WMID-8DBFC7 Circumstances of discovery This small third century sestertius hoard was found on 26th September 2011 whilst metal-detecting on cultivated land at a depth of between 6 and 12 inches. Some burnt wood and a pottery fragment was found at the same time. The coins Although this hoard has a small 'tail' of third century types down to Postumus, other hoards and D. R. Walker's analysis of the Bath assemblage demonstrate the reliance on the continuing circulation of the increasingly worn coins of the previous century. Thus the large group of illegible coins were probably mainly composed of earlier types that had become much worn. Identification was also hampered by corrosion and the fragmentary nature of the illegibles make their identification as sestertii (as opposed to lower denominations) somewhat subjective in some cases. Summary of hoard: Hadrian (AD 117-38) 1 Marcus Aurelius (AD 161-180) 1 Lucius Verus (AD 161-9) 2 Diva Faustina II 1 Wars of the Succession (AD 193-7): Septimius Severus 1 Severus Alexander (AD 222-235) 1 Maximianus I (AD 235-8) 1 Decius (AD 249-51) 1 Postumus (AD 260-9) 2 Illegible 23 Total 34 |
