Hoard of 6 Miliarenses, 15 Siliquae and 31 assorted fragments.
Found near Thruxton, Hampshire, over several days during the course of August 2014.
Many of the coins are buckled and fragmentary; probably damaged during ploughing. The latest coin is not fully legible but takes the hoard just into the joint reign of Honorious and Arcadius. If so, this sole specimen would place the Thruxton Hoard near the beginning of the sizeable body of British siliqua hoards, which end with the period AD 395-402. Furthermore, the siliquae in this hoard are virtually unclipped ('clipping factor 1' just possible on one specimen) and this, together with the presence of miliarenses alongside the siliquae, supports an earlier date for the deposition of the hoard, before the AD 395-402 coinage had much chance to spread into circulation.
