Summary

A hoard of 292 siliquae of the second half of the fourth century AD was discovered in a field of Highfield Farm, Osbournby, Lincs, with the aid of a metal detector, on various occasions in 1979 and 1980. The hoard contained 33 clipped coins and three contemporary imitations. R. Bland, in CHRB VII, catalogued a further 20 coins (1 mil., 19 sil.) found in November 1983. To this, one needs to add a further addenda of 1 siliqua of Julian II (2009).
