The most recent coin was that of Septimius Severus (reign AD 193-211). Interestingly, there is a coin of Mark Antony from around 32 BCE in the hoard. Severus was in Britain from AD 208 till he died near York in 211.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not too exciting, but it is noteworthy that someone in remote Britain carried around contemporary coins of Septimius Severus as well as a coin of Mark Antony from two centuries prior.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1552608[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-65244111" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-65244111" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-65244111</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1552606[/ATTACH]</p><p>Location of York, United Kingdom, not far from the location of the coin hoard, as well as the place of Septimius Severus’s death[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
