Title
Roman coin hoard: siliquae (reverse)
Description
English: Circumstances of discovery: Seventeen silver coins were found in plough-soil whilst searching with a metal-detector on 8 May 2017.

Date:Roman, late 4th to early 5th century AD

Description: 17 silver siliquae dating from c. AD 360 - 402, clipped and mostly fragmentary

Discussion: These coins were found at the same 6-figure grid reference as a previously recorded Roman coin hoard (PAS ref: IARCH-B59F4A), the Lindsell hoard of 25 clipped siliquae to AD 402 (Orna-Ornstein 2009) found in 1998-9 and now in Saffron Walden Museum. The coins from this hoard are similar in age and type to those previously recorded and can be seen as belonging to this find.

Another finder has declared 3silver siliquae from the same parish from land belonging to the same owner (PAS ref: <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/851256">ESS-6A2235</a>, 2017 T259), but these are sufficiently far apart to be treated as a separate find.

Conclusion: In terms of age and quantity, as the 17 coins are over 300 years old and contain a minimum of 10% precious metal, and as addenda to a previously recorded Treasure case, this case qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
