Members section has a few pictures from my trip to Italy.


Our thanks to Craig Spence of Bishop Grossteste College for an intriguing talk on the progress of excavations at Sudbrooke.

Many thanks to all members and volunteers for your help with the Pot Washing on Saturday morning. We completed 23 bags and saw plenty of Roman grayware. The bags will need a few weeks to dry out. I will organise a Classification session to have the experts sort through the finds. The experts tend to be busy with Field Trips in summer so this will most likely be in July or August.

It is in remarkable condition and side-lighting shows up the relief. Diameter is 15mm, weight about 2 grams. Emperor inscription 'Constantius II' (which is 323 - 361AD). The Reverse has an offset impression with only 'Glor?? ??itus readable and with soldiers either side of a standard. The Mint mark is clear as TRP (Trier). A similar coin find in Lincolnshire is recorded with reverse inscription 'Gloria Excitus'
