<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 7985685, member: 10613&quot;]I recently won a lot of 49 coins from the Mildenhall Hoard.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Mildenhall Hoard was discovered in the UK in 1833 and there were 1,286 coins from the 3rd century. One was a denarius of Caracalla and the rest were antoniniani from Valerian to Aurelian; with a majority from Postumus, Victorinus and Tetricus and only 5 from Aurelian, giving a hint when the hoard was buried,</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The coins were originally fused into one mass and described as a &quot;badly rusted mass of coins&quot;. The coins I have definitely conform to this, as most still have some rust or other corrosion.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There were also 46 unofficial coins including 17 Postumus from the same obverse and reverse die; which suggests they were probably struck in the area.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the plate of some of the unofficial coins</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1385689[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>For more info, see the 1954 Numismatic Article by Anne Robertson A ROMAN COIN HOARD FROM MILDENHALL, SUFFOLK</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have only catalogued a few of the coins, starting with Gallienus --</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1385690[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Gallienus</p><p>A.D. 264- 265</p><p>Ӕ Antoninianus</p><p>18x20mm&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 2.4g</p><p>GALLIENVS AVG; radiate head left with slight drapery over right shoulder.</p><p>IOVI CONSERVA; Jupiter stg. l.; holding thunderbolt and sceptre; at foot eagle; in left field S.</p><p>RIC Vi Mediolanum 486 var.; Göbl 1037L</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1385691[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Gallienus</p><p>A.D. 267- 268</p><p>Ӕ Antoninianus</p><p>20x22mm&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 2.8g</p><p>IMP GALLIENVS AVG; radiate head right.</p><p>LIBERO P CONS AVG; panther walking left.</p><p>In ex.
