A Roman soldier’s pay packet from Norfolk


Fox News reported last summer in another Roman coin hoard from Norfolk. This was discovered m in 2023 at 
Great Ellingham in southern central Norfolk.

It was also analysed by Dr Marsden, and he thinks it represents the contents of a soldier’s monthly pay packet of twenty five silver denarii. The coins are well preserved and had been issued by several Emperors. Their loss was dated to the period of the 160s to 170s
