Summary

The hoard comprised a black ceramic vessel containing a hoard of coins and jewellery. The jewellery included a gold necklace, 3 gold intaglio finger rings, a gold and silver intaglio finger ring and an iron finger ring with silver decoration. The number of coins in the hoard is not known with any certainty. Pérot claims there were 100 sestertii and 150 denarii, whereas Clément catalogued 92 coins, including 67 bronzes (mostly sestertii) and 25 denarii (and radiates?). There were some identification errors with 1 sestertius and 2 denarii attributed to Antoninus Pius, when in fact they were issues of Caracalla.
