Description: Two late Roman silver siliquae, one of Jovian (AD363-4, mint of Constantinople, Roman Imperial Coinage vol. VIII, 330, weight 1.21g) and one of Magnus Maximius (AD383-8, mint of Trier, Roman Imperial Coinage vol. IX, 84b, weight 1.53g). Both are in good condition with little trace of wear and were likely lost fairly soon after issue. Date: Late 380s or 390sDiscussion: Siliquae are rare as stray finds and are often found heavily clipped. These two are unclipped or nearly so and were also found within a few metres of one another. Thus, they were most likely lost together and thus, as a coin hoard, qualify as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
