Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2007 9:44 pm    Post subject: Hi Dauphin! Very interesting coins! Starting from the 3rd one. This is a bronze double centenionalis of the Emperor Magentius. The obverse reads DN (Dominus Noster - Our Lord) MAGNEN-TIUS PF (Pius Felix - Pious and Favoured) AVG (Augustus). Reverse is GLORIA ROMANORVM (The glory of the Romans), with Roman cavalryman slaying enemy foot soldier. Mint TAP (Trier, Germania) A very nice coin and one that you shouldnt sell for less than £40! The first seems to be an Antoninius of Victorinus, with a PAX AVG reverse, but with an S inplace of the X. The second I will have to research a bit more!

The Magnentius coin was struck between 350 and 351AD. The Victorinus between 269 and 270 AD. This coin is probably from Trier too. Did you find these yourself? If so, nice finds!

It appears from the aerial photos to have 2 wings and a corridor connecting the 2. What is also interesting is that there is an enclosure which goes around the building. It is positioned in a very good position on a hill. I have found other things and lots of lead which is weird. ( i only visited the site today for the forst time and spent 4 hours there) Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         UK METAL DETECTING Forum Index -> Discussions All times are GMT + 1 Hour Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Welcome!----------------Notice UK Metal Detecting - General----------------Help for BeginnersDiscussionsMetal DetectorsAccessoriesHow do I........?News  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum © 2007-2008 Informe.com.
