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

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'
