Summary

The hoard was found during construction work. The coins were covered by a small pot (smashed and lost). The coins were first dispersed, but later retrieved, and the assemblage is now probably close to complete. The hoard comprised 49 denarii ranging from the Republic to Vespanian (AD 70), including 1 denarius of Juba (SNG Cop 523), 32 denarii and 1 quinarius of the Roman Republic, and 15 denarii of the Roman Empire, Augustus (9), Claudius (1), Nero (1), Otho (1), Vespasian (3). Two additional coins were discovered close by after the initial hoard was found (1 as of Vespasian, and 1 sestertius of Marcus Aurelius). These were not part of the hoard.
