HOARD (ROMAN)

Robertson 2000, 17 no. 90:



""Not long ago in this place [i.e. the 'Roman camp' at Honington] have been dug up in plowing, bits of spears, bridles and swords and two urns full of coyns. I saw a large brass one of Agrippa and Julia daughter to Augustus, with many more."

W. Stukeley, Itin. Cur. (1724), 81

Gough's Camden (1789), II, 250, gave the date of discovery as 1691."

Parish: Restricted Access
District: South Kesteven
County: Lincolnshire

Notes: 
Uncertain if artefacts associated with coin hoards. Coins of Gaius (eg RIC 33) or possibly Claudius seem more likely than Robertson's attribution to Julia Titi.
