ANALYSIS OF RADIATE COINS FROM COLCHESTER, ESSEX.
Author(s): M P Heyworth
A group of radiate coins dating to the late third century AD found at the Angel Yard site were analysed. Qualitative analysis using X-ray fluorescence showed a range of compositions for the coins which could be related to the numismatic groups from the Central and Gallic Empires. The analyses are compared to barbarous copies of the radiates from the same site which have been analysed previously (AML Report 15/89).
