Coins and Politics in the Late Roman World
Coins constitute source material: explicitly, from what is written and portrayed on them or the place and authority in which they were struck, and implicitly, from the portrait style and type. They are also objects of metal, sometimes precious, the use and control of which reflects politics. Around 294, portraiture changed very sharply from individuality to the representation of authority. Reverse types were also now much more limited and concent…
Illuminating Roman Britain
Coins and the Late Roman Economy
Coins provide a source of information on the Roman economy which is not available in the written sources. They can be studied either as the products of the imperial administration—coins as struck, or as a reflection of coin use—coins as found. Coins as struck are well described in standard works of reference and only a few points of caution need to be added. Coins as found form an area of study that is in its early stages, and a rather basic gene…
The end of the city in Roman Britain
From the point of view of the Roman administrator around the year AD 220 Roman Britain contained the same units of urban administration as most of the other provinces of the Empire. The provinces of Britain were divided up into civitates, administrative areas of a size similar to the mediaeval county, or larger, with a town to act as administrative headquarters. These towns are often known as the ‘civitas capitals’ and authority almost certainly …
The Severan coin hoard from Shapwick ( JRA 14, 358-72)
Since most coin hoards are found without any archaeological context, even when excavation after discovery is possible, prompt publication of a large hoard of denarii with its context is so unusual an event that a few extra comments and questions may be allowed. I have doubts about the comparison with the site at Frocester (Glos.). The finds there suggested the remains of an iron-bound chest, and it might be that that was a strong box. If so, it w…

Site-Finds in Roman Britain
In Britannia iii I was able to give a very summary and outline picture of Roman coinfinds in Britain. A year later this picture was extended to France and Italy, and various similarities and differences were noted. At the same time John Casey was working particularly on military coin-finds, and he came independently to very similar conclusions. A framework had been established: there was a British pattern which was different from the continental …

Are Bayesian statistics useful to archaeological reasoning
An ANTIQUITY paper used the methods of Bayesian statistics to combine radiocarbon and stratigraphic information into a single considered view. But are they different kinds of information, more fairly kept separate
Theory and Roman Archaeology
The paper seeks to find the proper, or at least current, role of theory in Roman archaeology. It sets up a project to study the settlement pattern of Roman Britain from purely material sources and tries to investigate the presence or need for theory in each of the successive steps of the project. A division is found between the gathering of observations and their manipulation, which can be relatively explicit, and the interpretation of the observ…

British sites and their Roman coins
An analysis of the Roman coins lost on different types of site within Roman Britain shows strong chronological and geographical trends, as well as providing a critique for the current classification of sites
Portchester Revisited
Since the publication of the original report on the coins from Portchester there has been criticism of the interpretation given. The original ideas are reviewed, and, with the help of the criticisms, a new method of presentation of the material is given which strongly reinforces the original interpretations and suggests several new details. A short discussion is given on the ways by which the method might be made more generally applicable and ref…
Models of Continuity
Recent discussions of continuity between Roman and Saxon Britain have not considered in detail the bases of dating, or the model which is being used to explain the transition from one state to the other. This builds considerable dangers and uncertainties into any future work. The problems inherent in late Roman and Early Saxon chronology are aired, the two most obvious current models of transition are considered, rejected, and replaced by a model…

Groups of objects found together in Roman contexts provide a range of opportunities for interpretation not available in earlier periods. The objects can often be well dated and put in a definite sequence and similar groups may well be available for comparison over the whole area of the Roman empire. When the comparative material provided by the written sources is added the opportunities for interpretation multiply, but the problems which arise be…

A “Suitable Population”
In the “Concluding Remarks” appended to his journal for 1853–63, published in London in 1866 as Ten Years in Sarawak , Charles Brooke gave his support to the unfashionable idea of miscegenation between Europeans and Asians. The younger nephew of the first Rajah, James Brooke, and heir apparent to the Brooke raj to which he succeeded two years later, his views were of some significance. Accepting that a tropical climate was “not adapted for the pe…

The Use of Roman Coinage
There is little doubt that Roman coins found today in excavations were lost during the Roman period because they were in use. If these coin‐finds are examined in the appropriate way it should be possible to detect something of the patterns of coin‐use and coin‐loss in the ancient world and hence to learn something of the monetary side of trade and the economy. Finds from different sites are compared in an effort to establish basic rules of interp…
Town and country
Acceptance of the date limits A.D. 43 to 410 for Roman Britain has hidden the fact that much greater changes took place within the period called ‘Roman Britain’ than at either the beginning or the end. By calling for an acceptance of the archaeological record at face value, rather than allowing it to be manipulated to fit the historical record, this paper seeks to open up the question for further discussion

The Excavation of the Roman Theatre at Gosbecks
The Romano-British theatre at Gosbecks is situated in the parish of Stanway, three miles west of the colonia at Colchester on a small promontory between the Roman river and a lesser tributary. It lies on the eastern edge of a thirty-acre area which was covered in Roman times by numerous buildings including a possible bath-building, the large Gosbecks temple standing within its own temenos, and a massive walled ‘fairground’. The theatre lies 125 y…

Roman currency
The Roman currency was one of the most widespread coinage systems of the pre‐industrial world. Coin use, and often even coin values, have to be reconstructed from the pattern of modern coin finds, but this method of study raises many problems which have so far received little attention. In this survey a fresh method of dealing with coin finds is proposed in which each coin is regarded as a fraction of a pound of gold. This avoids the endless comp…

This paper considers the present state of cemetery studies in the north‐western provinces of the Roman Empire. Different aspects of the study are identified and a combination of these is put forward as the requirement for a perfect cemetery report, against which some recent publications are judged. the greatest failure is found to be the provision and assimilation of a bone report, whether anthropological or palaeo‐pathological. the potential of …
An Early Saxon Settlement within the Romano-British Small Town at Heybridge, Essex
FIVE GRUBENHAUSER and a probable ground level building sited within the Romano-British small town at Heybridge are described. The associated Saxon pottery suggests that the settlement belongs to the first half of the 5th century, and there is evidence that late Romano-British pottery was in contemporary use. It is suggested that the Saxon settlers were involved either economically or militarily in the life of the late Roman town. The significance…

A Short Survey of the Roman Coins Found on Fourteen Sites in Britain
In the summary of the Roman coins published in the Fifth Richborough Report, I made my first attempt at expressing the coin-finds from an archaeological site in a way that would facilitate comparison with other sites. Some problems and errors of that method have already been dealt with in the Numismatic Chronicle and need not be further discussed here. It was then already obvious that before the coins from one site could safely be evaluated, a ba…
