1 HORD OF CRUSIUS ND LLECTUS BURTON FROM ROGER BLND THE hoard was found by Mr W. D. Evans at Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire, in December The list published below gives details of 108 pieces of which all but two were examined in Northampton Museum in These may be summarized as follows: Victorinus Carausius Carausius for Diocletian llectus Gallic Mint 1 London 'C' Mint Unmarked Total The hoard was said originally to have consisted of between 124 and 140 coins and was found in association with a number of sherds of third- and fourth-century black and grey ware, two tesserae and parts of bricks and roofing tiles and pieces of slag. The fine state of preservation of the coins makes them important for establishing the weight standards of the issues of Carausius and llectus. Unfortunately, it was not possible to weigh the coins but Lawrence Cope had done so and he included two histograms of the weights in his thesis; 3 these are reproduced here (Fig. 1). s Cope pointed out, it is noticeable that the British weight standard of seventy-two coins to a Roman pound 4 was higher than that used by Diocletian and Maximian (eighty-four to a pound). No No grams Carausius: 58 coins, average 4.28 grams grams llectus: 48 coins, average 4.40 grams FIG. 1 Weight distributions of coins in Burton Latimer hoard (after Cope). The closest parallel to this hoard is the Colchester hoard, 5 inasmuch as both belong to the class of deposit which virtually exclude llectan 'quinarii', the unmarked antoniniani of Carausius (which contain no silver), and antoniniani struck before urelian's reform. 7 1 Kettering Leader and Guardian, 31/12/1954. : Description of the two pieces that I did not see are taken from a MS list of the hoard in Northampton Museum. 1 would like to thank Mr W. R. G. Moore for allowing me to study the hoard, and my colleague ndrew Burnett for much help in this task. 1 L. H. Cope, 'The metallurgical development of the Roman Imperial coinage during the first three centuries D', Liverpool Polytechnic 1974 (unpublished thesis), p ' Carausius and llectus used the same standard for their gold issues. 5 NC 1930, Some of these coins were subsequently acquired by the BM, and a great many passed to the shmolean from the Evans collection. Cope, p See above, p. 27.
2 42 HORD OF CRUSIUS ND LLECTUS FROM BURTON It is a hoard, then, which consists almost exclusively of those higher denomination coins that were then current. It has been suggested by ndrew Burnett elsewhere in this volume that llectus's 'quinarii' were contemporary with some at least of his antoniniani, in which case their absence here would not be chronologically significant. Consequently, since the hoard contained all the issues of antoniniani, its deposition can be dated to the end of llectus's reign, in 295 (or 29). 9 CTLOGUE The following obverse bust codes are employed: Bl Bust, radiate, cuirassed, seen from the front, right.
