Introducing the Vale of Pewsey Hoard, found near Pewsey in Wiltshire by three metal detectorists in 2020, 160 Roman silver coins, consisting of siliquae & miliarense from Constantius II (AD 323-361) to Honorius (AD 393-423).
Dating to the end of the Roman era in Britain this find and others represent a turbulent time for the Roman Empire and its citizens.
The hoard was declared Treasure, subsequently disclaimed then returned to the finders & landowner who chose to sell the hoard, making the coins available to private collectors around the world for which we are most grateful.
We have produced an interesting information booklet, a copy of which will be sent with each coin and will also be available on our website ‘News and Articles’ section.
This looks at the find and the wider background to the area and coinage in Late Roman Britain, a fascinating chapter in history.
