A Roman coin hoard from Norfolk

A year ago the BBC News reported on a hoard of Roman silver coins found in west Norfolk. They were identified by my old friend from Oxford, Dr Adrian Marsden, who is the numismatist with the Norfolk Museums service.

As Adrian explains the coins point to a time of  economic stability, and the presence of coins minted generations before they were deposited. The earliest is datable to 57BC and the latest to the reign of Marcus Aurelius in 175-6 AD.
