bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 02/04/2013 5:03 pm Pretty good bunch - The Crispus looks like London also, maybe even the top left Constantine EDIT: - got my left and right mixed up Edited by bobbyhelmet 02/04/2013 5:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 02/04/2013 5:36 pm I say beata - I mean the reverse type which the inscription bares the text BEATA TRANQVILLITAS (blessed tranquility). The altar with the celestial globe on top. The shape of the altar is different for each mint - and your top right looks a lot like london and the bust certainly does too.

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 02/05/2013 06:27 am Amazing examples. Always pround to see a coin of the London mint. Did you find them yourself? If so, were they found in the same field or a wide area? Report this Post to the Staff
Monkeybean Valued Member United Kingdom 300 Posts	Posted 02/10/2013 09:42 am Masis they were found over a few different fields but all in the same general area . Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 02/10/2013 10:04 am I remember a "Time Team" episode where five Roman coins were excavated, and Helen Geake stated that "Five coins found in one spot= A Hoard" and had to be declared under the Treasury Act. Report this Post to the Staff
Monkeybean Valued Member United Kingdom 300 Posts	Posted 02/10/2013 10:20 am The were reported to the flo but nowhere near close enough together to be a hoard . Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 02/10/2013 3:46 pm Doesn't it have to be about 14 bronzes to be a hoard? Seem to remember that from somewhere, less if they are silver or gold. These are a good bunch Monkeybean, do you ever find any Tetrarchy coins or is it mainly these smaller slightly latter coins?

Monkeybean Valued Member United Kingdom 300 Posts	Posted 02/10/2013 4:31 pm It's mostly this size and smaller . Report this Post to the Staff
