The Traprain Law Treasure and ‘Irish Pirates’
The treasure of Roman Hacksilber from Traprain Law, a massive hill fort east of Edinburgh, has been interpreted since its publication in 1923 by Alexander Curle as an illustration of the last days of Roman Britain, and as having been broken up by Irish pirates or raiders in or about ad 405. The attribution resulted from an attempt to link historical or semi-historical sources, in particular about the Irish hero Niall of the Nine Hostages and St P…
Silver hoards from Britain in their late-roman context
La province de Bretagne est renommée pour la vaisselle d'argent romaine tardive qui y a été retrouvée, surtout depuis la découverte du trésor de Mildenhall en 1942. On n'a cependantprésenté aucune synihèse des trouvailles, ni étudié la signification générate de ce matériel qui, replacé dans son contexte, pourrait à la fois éclairer les trésors trouvés ailleurs et apporter un témoignage important sur l'archéologie et l'histoire de l'antiquité tard…

II. Silver Picture Plates of Late Antiquity
One of the first questions likely to be asked by someone confronted for the first time by the great Oceanus plate ( missorium ) from Mildenhall (I, pl. VII a )** is, What was it used for? The answer is that neither it nor any of its fellow flat, decorated plates of silver, whether round or rectangular, to be surveyed in this paper, was ever used for practical, domestic purposes to serve as table-ware. It is hard to imagine the highly sophisticate…
The Design of the Roman Mosaic at Hinton St. Mary
Two problems in the design of the Hinton St. Mary mosaic are (1) that the elements of the design are placed the wrong way round if the mosaic was planned to be seen like a carpet; and (2) whether the bust of Christ is an original design or whether it is based on a formal set of rules. There is evidence to suggest (1) that the design of the mosaic as a whole may have been conceived as the decoration of a ceiling, and (2) that rules to which the bu…
A Roman Christian Silver Treasure from Biddulph, Staffordshire
In 1971 the British Museum bought a fourth-century silver spoon with Christian symbols. An undated document acquired with the spoon showed that it was the survivor of a hoard from Biddulph, Staffordshire. In 1973 notes made in January 1886, about the discovery of the spoon, were found in a notebook compiled by A. W. Franks. The newly acquired spoon proves to have been one of a hoard of four spoons found at Whitemore Farm, Biddulph. The find-place…
A Late-Roman Silver Ingot from Kent
A late-Roman silver ingot from Kent has recently come to light. It weighs one Roman pound and is stamped EX OFF CVRMISSI. All such ingots seem likely to have been distributed as imperial donatives to troops in the fourth century. They are related to presentation silver plate and other gifts of this type, and more than forty silver ingots are now known from the European Roman provinces. The only other known stamp by Curmissus—or perhaps the curato…

A Roman Marble Head from Sussex
