Title
Trebonianus Gallus coin from Peover
Description
English: Peover Superior, Cheshire

A coin hoard of 6956 Roman radiates and one Roman sestertius with ceramic vessel, Treasure Case: 2015 T46.

Description of Find

Apart from a single very worn sestertius of Commodus (AD 180-92) the coins range in date from AD 251-274 and the assemblage is broadly similar in composition to the many Romano-British coin hoards buried in the aftermath of the breakaway 'Gallic Empire'. Although the coins were carefully removed in layers (BM conservation by Katarzyna Weglowska), a visual check of the bags showed no noticeable compositional differences.
The coins of Aurelian (AD 270-5) present here are issues from the earlier years of his reign (up to fourth series of Milan; possibly as late as early AD 274 according to LV), leaving the latest coins as those of Tetricus I, AD 271-4 (and his young son Tetricus II).
