Nether Compton hoard
The Nether Compton hoard was found inside a pot buried in a field near Nether Compton, England on 19th February 1989. This hoard contained 22,670 Roman coins; all of about 7% were from the 330’s. The hoard was probably deposited circa A.D. 339, since it contained no two victory types. It has been estimated that there were 20,000 to 21,000 Gloria Exercitus coins and around 1,000 to 2,000 Urbs Roma and Constantinopolis commemoratives. There were about 600 various other coins, the earliest dating to Aurelian.
