Superb and rightly declared treasure trove. Just goes to show that you can occasionally hit the jackpot whilst metal detecting.

Ahh but are they. I more than covered the cost of my Explorer II detector within a couple of weeks of starting with a particularly nice Vitellius Denarius. All fully recorded with P.A.S. and the landowner was paid half the valuation. Truth be told I kept it and everything else I found. I don't have the heart or the need to sell the collecton thankfully. I only did it for two years but found around 40 Hammered, 4 Denarius back to the Republic, loads of early As etc and some nice early milled silver. Also antiquities such as a Bronze age palstave, Roman fibula's including a rare Wirral type etc. Oh yes and the odd bit of gold. During the same period I didn't win the lottery

Good timeline,Good history.

From anglo-saxon history,from picts in scotland in the north,from celts in ireland in the west,from gaul in mainland europe,from byzantine-roman empire in italy,on that time.

From ceazar to nero in first century,from first century christian they are many during the time of nero.

From a gaul saint.

Just wondering what is the translation or the original words or language use in the time a barn called saul.

Just seen some episode in BBC news I thought it was already a program documentary, there are some videos seen in BBC after ive searched there sight and the net, it happens that the link above found first they are all interconnected from wiki to other site.

Nice gem stones garnet,other are tracing metal by there composition also in gems where they originate.

seen in the web that several times that they are recycling precious metals for use of others.

Seen also in spink book that there are lots of mints in mercia and gold is mostly used and somewhat an introduction of lesser denomination sceattas on that time.

Most of the hoard is gold they must be wealthy even in time of celts they are already mints in britannia them and they recycle it from time to time.

other coastal area are also wealthy on that time because of trade,maybe it depends on who reign in there time.

Very good find.

The hoard dated 600-800AD

From sol to tyrsma to sceat.

From uncia-As-Dinar-sceat.

12 uncia to 1 As,10 As to 1 Dinar to ? sceat.

Uncial

Sonnet or a song with line of 14 measure much longer than 12 or 10,how many uncial in the line.

It might lead to taxation,just a comment.

Iota.
