The Roman coins came from sites on the Antonine Wall; from Roman sites elsewhere in Scotland; from native sites s isolatea ; d finds wit recordeo hn d association hoardsn i d san serie A . f Tableo s s brings together the recorded finds from previous surveys as well as from the present survey.

There is no doubt that as Roman coins continue to be found in Scotland, knowledge will be further increased about the production, distribution and use of Roman army currenc Nortn yi h Britain aboud ,an exten 'drifte s tit th f o t' into non-Roman hands.

Three subsequent lists, by myself, included Roman coins found in Scotland from 1940 to 50, 1951 to 60 and 1961 to 71 (Robertson 1950; 1961; 1971). The present list includes both Roman (and a few Greek and Byzantine) coins found in Scotland during the years 1971-82, and also those coins which were found earlier, but about which new information has come to light in recent years. The list is in four parts: Al Finds from Roman sites on the Antonine Wall A2 Finds from Roma Antonine th nn o site t e sno Wal l B Finds from native sites C Isolated finds with no recorded associations D Hoards The finds within each group have again been arranged according to counties, for the convenienc thosf eo e collating material fro mparticulaa r area.

  • The Antonine Wall, the Roman Frontier in Scotland, Was the Most and Northerly Frontier of the Roman Empire for a Generation from AD 142
    Breeze The Antonine Wall, the Roman frontier in Scotland, was the most and northerly frontier of the Roman Empire for a generation from AD 142. Hanson It is a World Heritage Site and Scotland’s largest ancient monument. The Antonine Wall Today, it cuts across the densely populated central belt between Forth (eds) and Clyde. In The Antonine Wall: Papers in Honour of Professor Lawrence Keppie, Papers in honour of nearly 40 archaeologists, historians and heritage managers present their researches on the Antonine Wall in recognition of the work Professor Lawrence Keppie of Lawrence Keppie, formerly Professor of Roman History and Wall Antonine The Archaeology at the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow University, who spent edited by much of his academic career recording and studying the Wall. The 32 papers cover a wide variety of aspects, embracing the environmental and prehistoric background to the Wall, its structure, planning and David J. Breeze and William S. Hanson construction, military deployment on its line, associated artefacts and inscriptions, the logistics of its supply, as well as new insights into the study of its history. Due attention is paid to the people of the Wall, not just the ofcers and soldiers, but their womenfolk and children. Important aspects of the book are new developments in the recording, interpretation and presentation of the Antonine Wall to today’s visitors. Considerable use is also made of modern scientifc techniques, from pollen, soil and spectrographic analysis to geophysical survey and airborne laser scanning. In short, the papers embody present- day cutting edge research on, and summarise the most up-to-date understanding of, Rome’s shortest-lived frontier.
