[QUOTE="John Conduitt, post: 7546026, member: 109923"]Nice write up. My only coins from this period are from the Angles and Saxons. It was such a turbulent time in Britain that records are almost non-existent, as are coins. There were no coins struck or even used for more than a century after the Romans left around 410 - they returned to a barter economy. The Saxons eventually brought their own coins, and took to trimming the Roman coins they found in Britain to match. [B]Arcadius Siliqua, 383-408 [/B] [ATTACH=full]1302081[/ATTACH] [B]Mediolanum.
