HOLLYHURST 2018 B

Data type

Hoard

Date of discovery (from)

2018

Total number of coins

24

Summary

Twenty-four coins, asses and dupondii. The hoard has a fairly short date range, dominated by coins from the reign of Domitian (AD 81-96) and the latest coin is likely to have been issued very early in the reign of Trajan (c. AD 98-9), from the style of the bust. Along: a disc brooch and a strap slide. Probably, part of the same hoard as Hollyhurst 2018 A [CHRE 21602].
