ANGLO-SAXON REMAINS 



a rough copy of a coin which cannot be identified with certainty. 

 At the back is a similar reproduction of the reverse of the same 

 or another coin, which may have been a Merovingian copy of a coin 

 of Carausius (287-93) minted by Childebert or Dagobert in the 

 second half of the seventh century. This however does not fix the 

 date of the brooch, which from comparison with others in the British 

 Museum and elsewhere l with broad beaded borders appears to belong to 

 the ninth or tenth century, when Anglo-Saxon art had become extinct, 

 and new forms, introduced from the continent, foreshadowed the 

 Norman conquest of our island. 



Several are figured and described in Journal of British Archaohgual Atsociafion, ii. 313.
