Title
10 copper alloy Roman coin; nummi of the House of Constantine
Description
English: Treasure Cases 2010 T98 and T351

This small Constantinian nummus hoard of 72 coins was found during autumn / winter 2009. The solitary Theodosian bronze is probably best understood as a stray intruder. An addenda of 53 coins was found during August - September 2010. These were in a very corroded and fragmentary state with thirty nummi being completely illegible. The early debased radiate could have been part of the hoard as they have been occasionally found in mid-Constantinian nummus hoards.74 coins were found in total.

The coins have been identified as:
1. A radiate of an uncertain emperor, standing figure on reverse, dating from 260 - 280 AD
2. A nummus of the House of Constantine, Constantinopolis Victory on Prow type dating from 330 - 335 AD, minted at Trier. RIC VII 523 etc.
3. A nummus of the House of Constantine, Urbs Roma type, dating from 330 - 335 AD, minted at Trier. RIC VII 542
4. A nummus of the House of Constantine, Constantinopolis Victory on Prow type dating from 330 - 335 AD, minted at Trier. RIC VII 548
5 - 21. Nummi of the House of Constantine, Gloria Exercitvs type dating from 330 - 335 AD, uncertain mint.
22 - 30. Nummi of the House of Constantine, Urbs Roma wolf and twins type dating from 330 - 335 AD, uncertain mint.
31 - 36. A nummus of the House of Constantine, Constantinopolis Victory on Prow type dating from 330 - 335 AD, uncertain mint.
37. A nummus of the House of Constantine, Gloria Exercitvs one standard type dating from 335 - 340 AD, uncertain mint.
38. A nummus of the House of Theodosius, Salus Reipublicae type dating from 388 - 403 AD, Rome mint. RIC IX, 64.
