Diocletian from Carthage found in England
« on: December 17, 2021, 11:17:57 AM »

This coin was discovered in the UK in 2017, in a hoard of coins totaling 3,099 and now called the Rauceby Hoard. There were only 24 Carthage coins in the hoard. The majority of coins were Tetrarchic and they seem to have been buried circa A.D. 307- 308
