Bangrstrup Find (Fyeii). Conspicuous among many remark- 

 aide finds is the Bangstrup find (Fyen, 1865), in which rings of 

 gold used as money, ornaments of peculiar shape, and 4(3 gold 

 Roman coins, which were pierced or had a loop attached to 

 the top, were discovered. The coins, ranging from the time 

 of Trajanus Decius (249-251) to that of Constantine II. 

 (337-351), give an approximate idea of the time of the 

 deposit of the find ; for, while most of the earlier coins are well 

 worn, the later ones are very well preserved and the coinage is 

 very sharp and clear, thus indicating that they cannot have 

 been long in circulation. As the dates of these later coins are 

 about 340-350, the find cannot have been buried much later 

 than that time.

The crescent-shaped ornaments have, so far as is known, 

 never been found elsewhere in the North; but in the Ukraine 

 similar ones have been discovered, and are described in the 

 work " Account of the Mounds, &c., of the Government of 

 Kiew," bv Privv Councillor J. Foundouklei, Kief, IS is.
