Title: Unit / Minim / debased Sceatta or just plain grot ? Post by: Techony on March 31, 2012, 10:58:42 PM This little chap came off our Roman field today amonst a handful of numii. I can't find the herringbone pattern anywhere although to me it seems to have similarities to some of the celtic units and saxon sceattas.
It has a diameter of just under 11mm Any ideas? Title: Re: Unit / Minim / debased Sceatta or just plain grot ? Post by: DEADLOCK on April 01, 2012, 06:24:50 AM well found mate looks interestin im sure someone will id it
