Comment

Second century copper coins circulated for a long time in Noord-Brabant as there was barely a supply of new money in the third century. Therefore the terminal year of the deposition could be late second century or the first decades of the third century.

Near Dommel brook
Site comment

The coins and fibulae were found on arable land, near the Dommel brook. The finds were concentrated in an area of ca. 5sqm. More Roman finds are known from the same field, but further away from the concentration. These include an iron axe head. Many other Roman finds are known from the surrounding fields, the most important being a bronze washing basin and a bronze jug dating to the middle of the 1st to the end of the 2nd century AD (ensemble PAN-S-00045). Very likely these constitute the contents of a cremation burial.
