116 Roman Silver Coins from Grovely Wood, Wilts. 



The silver hoard originally consisted of 300 coins, but one (said 

 to be of the larger denomination) was unfortunately lost by the 

 finder. The remaining 299 consist of 296 siliquae and 3 miliarensia. 

 The miliarensia are of Valens (1 of Trier) and Gratian (1 of Trier, 

 1 of Siscia), and are all of the type called C below (VIRTVS 

 EXERCITVS)- The siliquae are of Constantius II (3), Julian 

 Caesar (1), Julian Augustus (20), Jovian (1), Valentinian I (7), 

 Valens (63), Gratian (53), Valentinian II (33), Theodosius (37), 

 Magnus Maximus (60), Flavins Victor (7), Eugenius (7), Arcadius 

 (4). Of the mints represented, Trier was the source of an enormous 

 majority of the coins (212 out of 299), as is usually and naturally 

 the case in hoards found in these islands. The analysis appended 

 (pp. 118 and 119) gives information as to the distribution of the 

 coins amongst Emperors, types, and mints, and further details
