<p>[QUOTE="seth77, post: 8314023, member: 56653"]I don't think you can ever be certain of a mint with these clipped siliquae. That being said, I think it's Trier, for 2 main reasons: 1. Trier was the main supplier of coinage to Britain in the second part of the 4th century and 2. Trier was minting the most of this type ca. 370. The siliquae were used in Britain even after 410 and there is certainly a probability that they were cut to the new standard once sceattas became the dominant means of monetary exchange.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
