Summary

An ancient Roman Vase, dug up at Ham Hill some years ago filled with copper coins, chiefly of the later Roman Emperors. – This cannot be the same find as either Ham Hill (1802-14), since that hoard and its pot had already been deposited in the Library of Christ Church, Oxford, long before 1853, or Ham Hill (1816), since the pot which contained that hoard was broken on discovery.
