BRITISH AND ROMANO-BRITISH COINS. 



this period vary so much in relative size that it is often merely a 

 matter of opinion to which denomination an item belongs. 4

Third-brass. 



31. 0. CONSTANTINVS. IVN. N.C. Radiate bust to left,

4 It is remarkable that no aurei or solid! of any reign appear in the D.C.M. 

 collection, nor have I heard of any in other quarters ; as these gold coins are not 

 so rare as their absence would suggest, it is possible that the intrinsic value of the 

 metal , or doubts as to the law of treasure trove, may have prevented their being 

 offered to local antiquaries.
