This is a large hoard of 1725 coins that was buried in the lower half of a grey ware jar. It contains bronze coins issued by the emperors Tetricus I, Claudius II, Gallienus and Victorinus. They are known as 'radiate' coins as the emperors wear a spiky crown symbolising the rays of the sun, an association with the cult of Sol Invictus. The coins are of the denomination antoninianus which were a debased type of coin popularly known not to be worth as much as their face value and therefore a cause of inflation.
