[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 494964, member: 39"]Found the links on my computer again. :) When these finds were presented about four weeks ago, they did show a few coins. Well, only two. But one of them is interesting because it contributed to dating that battle. It is a sestertius coin showing emperor Commodus, and judging from the type/design it must be from around 190. This film [url]http://www.3sat.de/webtv/?081215_schlacht_nano.rm[/url] shows the coins. The report (from "nano" on 3sat TV) may not be terribly interesting for those who do not understand German, but after about two thirds they do show the coins, one of which - the Commodus piece - helps completing the dating puzzle so to say.
