Shillington Hoard

[1] The coins were issued by Tiberius, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian.

[2] Metal detectorists Shane Pyper and Simon Leete discovered 123 aurei in October 1998.

[3] They also found a much smaller hoard of seven silver denarii a few metres away.

Ten of the denarii are Republican, and one was of Hadrian from 128 AD, so the relationship between the gold and silver hoards is uncertain.

[4] The coins appear to have been deposited without intention of recovery, perhaps as a votive offering at a Romano-Celtic temple.
