Summary
A. Marsden writes: "Roman coin hoard of 17 coins, all asses or dupondii of the first or early second century. Many of the coins are corroded and in poor condition but the four coins of Hadrian appear to have seen relatively little circulation when they went into the ground. The earlier ones appear heavily worn. We might suggest a date of loss or deposition around the middle of the second century AD.1) Claudius, as, reverse Minerva advancing right, appears regular, weight 5.93g, AD41-542) Uncertain as or dupondius, perhaps Nero, ?AD64-83) Vespasian, as, reverse probably standing figure, AD69-794-6) Uncertain Flavian, asses or dupondii, AD69-96 (3)7) Hadrian, as, reverse female standing right, AD117-258) Hadrian, as, reverse female seated left holding cornucopia, AD117-38 .9) Hadrian, as, reverse standing figure, AD117-3810) Hadrian, quadrans, reverse probably rostrum, probably RIC II, 623, AD121-211-17) Asses or dupondii, illegible (7)"
