Title
Roman Coin Hoard
Description
English: Two silver Roman coins; denarii, believed to be part of a scattered hoard.

1. Denarius of Hadrian (AD 117 - 138) dating from AD 120 - 1 (Reece Period 6). IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, Laureate bust right with drapery on far shoulder. P M TR P COS III reverse depicting Aequitas standing left holding scales and cornucopia. Mint of Rome. RIC number 80 as cited in Sear Volume II, number 3520 on page 149. The coin is 19.8mm diameter, 2.2mm thick and 2.8g.

2. Denarius of Trajan (AD 98 - 117) dating from AD 112 - 117 (Reece Period 5). Obverse: IMP TRAIANO OPT[IMO] AVG GER [DAC P]M TRP, Laureate and draped bust right. Reverse: COS VI PP SPQR depicting Jupiter standing left, holding thunderbolt and sceptre, protecting Trajan holding branch. Mint of Rome. RIC 298. <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/trajan/t.html.">http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/trajan/t.html.</a> The coin is 19.8mm diameter, 1.9mm thick and 2.5g.

The discovery of two broadly contemporary silver denarii found within a relatively small area, from where few other Roman finds have been reported, suggests that these coins are from a dispersed hoard. One other Roman coin has been reported from the same area: SWYOR-33DEA8, an illegible copper alloy As, which could also be contemporary with the hoard.
