Title
Anna 2 Silver unit
Description
English: Wymondham, Norfolk: A scattered hoard of 23 coins comprising a single Iron Age stater and three silver units. The remainder consisted of 19 Roman republican and early Imperial denarii. The coins range in date from circa 90BC to the end of the reign of Tiberius in AD37. With the evidence to hand and the date range of the coins it is most probable that the deposition is associated with the period of the Boudiccan uprising in 60/61AD.
