Coin hoard, 2009T450
Description
English: Summary of the Shrewsbury hoard

18 radiates and 9297 nummi to AD 335

The 9,315 coins were contained in a broken 'Severn Valley' ware jar. The subsequent archaeological excavation recovered a scatter of coins in the immediate area and some associated pottery sherds (from the jar). The pot had originally been placed in a pit and was covered by a large flat stone.

The majority of the coins present were nummi minted between AD 307 and 335. Eighteen radiates were also present. The latest dated coins in the hoard can be dated to AD 333-335. The internal stratigraphy of the pot suggests that the latest coins were added in a later deposition event. Within the lower layers of the pot were several fragments of a linen textile and an iron nail.

A summary of the hoard is given below. (The radiates are listed by emperor's reign and the nummi in groupings by the dates of the reverse designs). The 277 coins from the archaeological excavation are included in this summary as they are likely to have come from the hoard. A full catalogue is to be published shortly.
