Tonight, over on YouTube, our resident small finds specialist, Dani Wootton gives us the lowdown on 5 fantastic finds discovered during our Roman villa dig at Broughton. Get ready to watch HERE.

The video features two interesting Roman coins, a nummus from the reign of Constantine II and a silver denarius.

The nummus 3D model is available to explore now on Sketchfab: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/roman-coin-nummus-broughton-84b30494954e4522a64b6cb9ff48c816 

The denarius model will be coming soon.

Post-Excavation Update

Post-ex analysis is still ongoing for both of Time Team's recent digs. This is typically a complex and time-consuming process, involving the insights of a wide range of experts in various disciplines, which are then collated and compiled into the final report. We'll be sharing much more information on specific finds, trenches and developments as the process progresses, so please watch this space for further updates.

I'm confused. The dig video referred to this coin as being from the reign of Constanius II in captions BUT Gus stated it was from Constantine II, Which is it?

Hi Nathan, it should be Constantine II - Dani addresses this confusion in the new finds video.

Mark Gaither

Great presentation. It is so satisfying to look at the coin in all dimentions.

Steve Mikre

A second dig by Time Team at this location would be great...

I'm looking forward to reading the post dig analysis. I think Gus mentioned at the end of the third video that based on looking at the post dig research, you think the bath house was near trench two?

I have one for Naomi about Neolithic use of plant fiber and possible dye and weave exploration. Hope I can post a link. Fascinating use of plants in Okinawa and China led me to wonder what plant fiber or dye knowledge has been lost. Can we do a selective pollen search? The plant looks like Nettle? From Japanese Public Radio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku2IJOSGJfc

As a quilter and fabric artist, I like this question! Once in a while, there's a mention of looms, yarn weights and of course, Victor's drawings. It'd be excellent to have Naomi's take on how and which plants were used in various settings and stages. I recall Stuart talking about his Mom and the toll working in a mill took on her and all the workers. Such a personal context for the textiles and the mill show.

I was thinking of the finely woven fabric found at Must Farm made from plant fibers. Add to that the Eurasian steppe riding britches recently found. Check out the Japan Public Radio youtube. One fiber was transparent, glass-like, and had a sheen like silk. One dye came from a tree, only after it was 100 years old. I think that youtube is right up your alley.

Hi Ann, thanks for this - it's an interesting subject. We'll see if we can explore it further in an upcoming chat.

Ann H

Sub note. Wool takes bright dyes better I am told (Crete colored wool v Egypt cotton/linen white in clothing depictions) so dye relation to plant fibers has some interesting correlations? Plus what dye plants in the EU v pre colonial Americas? And was waterproofing of leather done as with the Amerindians to keep arrows dry or as raincoats (early trade item in first period N Am)? Open questions on live chats are a brilliant idea.

Ann H

Yikes. Forgot. My interest in waterproofing leather/fish skins has to do with the use of arrows v atlatls since your fletching has to be kept dry to make an arrow fly. Did remaining with the atlatl remain late in wetter climates.? Bows/arrows were rather late to the plains Indians assuming then waterproofed leather quiver tech came into use with them?

It’s great to see these finds up close and be able to view them on Sketchfab. I began to wonder what this coin would have looked like when in use and I decided to make a digital model - using this find as reference along with images of other finds of similar coins. I don’t claim to have created an exact replica but I hope I have shown what a coin like this may have looked like when in use.
