I LEINS & C McDONALD
1060. Crondall, hampshire (addenda):
4 Roman silver denarii (2005 T439)
Date: Hoard deposited AD 37
Discovery: Found by Mr I Carruthers, Mr N Green &
Mr J De Montfalcon while metal-detecting in
September 2005.
Description: All four coins are either Roman
Republican or Imperial period silver denarii dating
from between the first century BC and the first half of
the first century AD. The coins therefore form entirely
convincing addenda to the earlier hoard. The types can
be summarised as follows:
Republic:
L Roscius Fabatus (64 BC, RRC 412/1), 1
C Julius Caesar (49–48 BC), 1
Tiberius:
PONTIF MAXIM (AD 14–37, RIC 30), 2
Discussion: For original hoard see Treasure Annual
Report 2004, no. 423.
Disposition: Disclaimed, returned to finders.

1061. Winchester area, hampshire (addenda):
24 Roman gold and silver coins (2006 T163)
Date: After AD 37
Discovery: Found by Mr K Halls (now deceased) while
metal-detecting before 2004, reported by Mrs Halls.
Description: The current coins are consistent with the
earlier hoard in terms of their type and condition, and
the possibility that they originated at the same site
is supported by the fact that the finder was known to
have revisited the site on occasions after the discovery
of the hoard.
Aureus:
Tiberius (AD 14–37), 1
Denarii:
Roman Republic, 18
Augustus (27 BC–AD 14), 4
Tiberius (AD 14–37), 1
Note: For the original hoard see Treasure Annual Report
2001 no. 181; see also nos. 1041, 1072 and 1127.
Disposition: Winchester Museums Service.

1062. Albrighton, shropshire:
69 Roman silver denarii (2005 T440)
Date: AD 40s–60s
Discovery: Found by Mr M Jarvis & Mrs K Jarvis
while metal-detecting in September 2005, across a
100 m2 area.
Description:
Republic (from 140 BC), 51
Augustus (31 BC–AD 14), 12
Tiberius (AD 14–37), 6 (mint of Lyon)
Discussion: Although the latest coins are of Tiberius
(AD 14–37), this does not necessarily indicate
deposition prior to AD 43. The coins probably circulated
for a considerable time since silver denarii were
apparently only minted in small quantities between
AD 37 and 64, and characteristically have a low
presence in early coin hoards from Roman Britain. Also
characteristic is the significant presence of Republican
issues which continue to circulate throughout the
1st century AD, well into the time of the emperors.
The lack of the plentiful post-AD 64 issues suggest
that deposition would have perhaps occurred under
Claudius (AD 41–54) or early in the reign of Nero
(AD 54–68). See J Orna-Ornstein on ‘Early hoards of
denarii from Britain’ in CHRB X, 23–9.
Disposition: Northgate Museum.
R ABDY
1063. Annesley, Nottinghamshire:
4 Roman silver denarii (2005 T194)
Date: AD 75
Discovery: Found by Mr R Scothern while metaldetecting
in May 2003.
Republic:
L RVTILI FLAC (77 BC), 1
L PLAVTIVS PLANCVS (47 BC), 1
Empire:
Nero (AD 54–68), 1

Note: All the coins were in worn or fragmentary
condition.
Disposition: Disclaimed, returned to finder.
R ABDY
1064. beal point, Northumberland:
5 Roman silver denarii (2005 T389)
Date: AD 76
Discovery: Found by Mr R Carson & Mr A Mossop while
metal-detecting in July 2005.
Description: Small early Flavian denarius hoard:
Augustus (31 BC–AD 14), 1
Tiberius (AD 14–37), 1
Vespasian (AD 69–79), 3
Discussion: Beal Point faces the Holy Island of
Lindisfarne and it is quite unusual to see such an early
denarius hoard far to the north of the early province of
Roman Britain. See J Orna-Ornstein on ‘Early hoards of
denarii from Britain’ in CHRB X, 23–9.
Disposition: Disclaimed, returned to finder.
R ABDY
1065. shorwell, Isle of Wight: 1 copper-alloy
sestertius and 50 copper-alloy sestertius fractions
(2006 T409)
Date: AD 98
Discovery: Found by the Isle of Wight Metal Detecting
Club while metal-detecting in August 2006.
Description:
Nero (AD 54–68), 7
Vespasian (AD 69–79), 4
Domitian Caesar, 1
Uncertain Vespasian or Titus (AD 69–81), 15
Domitian (AD 81–96), 12
Uncertain emperor, 10
Irregular Claudian copies, 2
Discussion: Condition of the coins was generally poor
and the latest accurately datable coin of the original
find was AD 87 (Domitian COS XIII). However, recent
addenda (2007 T197) extended the range to include a
coin of Caligula (AD 37–41) and Nerva (AD 96–8).
Note: Four unassociated nummi also found, possibly
addenda to the 1932 Shorwell I find (RBCH 1382).
Disposition: Disclaimed, returned to finder.
