[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 7983147, member: 5682"]Thanks, everyone, for taking a look. Here’s the article source for me (unfortunately no coin reverse): [URL]https://theisleofthanetnews.com/2021/10/29/holding-cell-for-gladiators-and-wild-animals-uncovered-in-excavation-of-richborough-roman-amphitheatre/[/URL] Here’s what I wrote at a different site: It is interesting that the coin found at the site is from Carausius (reign 286-293 AD). (Thank you Orange Julius from cointalk.com for help with identification.) It is thought that it was probably Carausius who dismantled the triumphal arch to build a Saxon Shore fort at Richborough to protect from invading barbarians. This was one of many forts in the Saxon Shore system on both sides of the Channel to defend against the invading Saxons, Franks, and others. [URL]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_Shore[/URL] Thanks again, all. Nice related video. It is a great source of information and insight into ancient Richborough.
