radiates to AD 279 BM ref.: 2003 T83 Circumstances of discovery (by R. Abdy) Found by Mr. Brian Malin with the aid of a metal detector, 7th April 2003 at a depth of 30-60 cm on arable farmland, about 10 miles south-east of Oxford. In 1989 Mr. Malin, along with his brother Ian Malin, found the remarkably similar Chalgrove I (RBCH 756A, 4145 radiates in two Romano-British black burnished pots), 100 feet away from the find spot of the present hoard. (See J. Mairat below for comparison between these two hoards). The condition of hoard, fused together with copper-alloy corrosion products within the jar made conservation (carried out by the British Museum conservators Simon Dove and Abby Dickson) a painstaking task that unavoidably delayed identification until early 2004. This did allow stratified spits to be taken: roughly 100-coin samples (actual 430) from the top, upper middle, lower middle, and bottom (analysed below). The presence of the second recorded example of a coin of Domitianus (Domitian II) in Chalgrove II provoked a great deal of media attention.2 The RIC plates showed that this new coin was a die-identical example of the previously unique first discovery. The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire (A. H. M. Jones et al) lists this Gallic Domitianus as: “Usurper under Aurelian, quickly suppressed Zos. 1.49.2. Possibly in Gaul, where a coin of doubtful authenticity was found with the legend ‘Imp. C. Domitianus p. f. Aug.’ RIC V.2 590”. The matching example from Chalgrove, certainly confirmed the authenticity of the coin. By coincidence, renewed research in France on the first Domitian II coin was coming to fruition around the time of the discovery of Chalgrove II. The first coin had been found as part of a hoard of 1,456 radiates to AD 274,3 at Cléons (Haute-Goulaine, Loire-Atlantique), 1900, and subsequently published by F.-M. A. de la Fuÿe.4 The Cabinet des Médailles in Paris refused to purchase the coin due to the unrealistic price,5 and in 1929 was given to the Musée Dobrée in Nantes, the owner’s hometown.6 It subsequently proved hard to locate, leaving the plaster cast published in RIC as the only reference throughout the century.7 It was declared to be a retooled Tetricus / Hilaritas Augg (RIC 79) by the influential Italian numismatist L. Laffranchi,8 while other doubters pointed out the unusual lack of praenomen and nomen on what should have been an inaugural issue.9 Despite its detractors, the coin was never quite dismissed. Apart

  • U DDPA Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn 13Th Cent
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn U DDPA Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn 13th cent. - 1906 Biographical Background: The Palmes family traced its pedigree back to Manfred Palmes who was living in 1140 and had lands in Taunton, Somerset. It is a family unique in being able to trace an unbroken inheritance from son to son from the twelfth century to 1974, with only one exception in the eighteenth century. In 1226 lands at Naburn in East Yorkshire were assigned to William Palmes by Richard de Watervill, the brother of Maud de Watervill, William Palmes's wife. The demesne lordship of Naburn then descended in the Palmes family to the twentieth century (Baines, Old Naburn, p. 45; Allison, History of York East Riding, iii, p. 77; Foster, Pedigrees, iii). Naburn is about three miles south of York and the Palmes family built a manor house on the east bank of the River Ouse. The house was first mentioned in 1345 and had eight hearths in 1672. A drawing of circa 1720 indicates a two storey house, three bays in length with attic windows in high gables. In other words, the family was comfortably-wealthy, although it was not until the early sixteenth century that any of the male members of the family held public office. William Palmes, who was living in the middle of the fifteenth century, married Ellen Rocliffe, whose father was one of the barons of the exchequer. She provided him with three male heirs and a daughter before taking the veil during his lifetime, in 1479.

A Report by Anthony Gilbert 73 EDITORIAL The Club has enjoyed yet another fruitful year with seven talks, five of them being given by Club members, our Members’ Own evening and the annual cheese and wine party that followed the AGM. Once again the numismatic content of the talks was very widely spread. We heard about the almost ‘odd ball’ provincial coinage of Roman Egypt, Graeco-Roman in style and denomination, often with ancient Egypt reverse types, the product of a country that was not a proper Roman province but more the Emperor’s private fiefdom. A major contribution was on the almost legendary Brussels hoard, often spoken of in awe as being held in Baldwin’s basement until some brave and knowledgeable soul could face examining it in detail and publishing it. The Club was entranced to hear the full story of the hoard and the subsequent work on it that led to a definitive publication.

  • Mapping Rapidly Changing Minority Ethnic Populations: a Case Study of York
    Mapping rapidly changing minority ethnic populations: a case study of York Gary Craig with Sue Adamson, Nazreen February 2010 Ali and Fasil Demsash Official statistics can be of limited help to those providing services to increasingly diverse populations. Using an innovative approach, this project drew on both formal and informal sources to estimate the size and diversity of York’s minority ethnic population and the implications for key agencies. The project was commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s York Grants Committee, which makes modest grants to organisations to help improve the general quality of life in York. The Committee wanted a more up-to-date picture of the city’s population than census data offers, to help inform its work. This report looks at: • the approach piloted by the project • what this approach found • the project team’s recommendations for policy and service organisations in York. The project suggests that York’s population is much more ethnically diverse than is often supposed, identifying 78 different first languages within the city. www.jrf.org.uk When they talk about communities, all they see are white, Asian, black and possibly Chinese. They don’t see the Italian community, they don’t see the Polish community and they don’t see the Iranian community.

  • Presidential Address 2014 Coin Hoards and Hoarding in Britain
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS 2014 COIN HOARDS AND HOARDING IN BRITAIN (3): RADIATE HOARDS ROGER BLAND Introduction IN my first presidential address I gave an overview of hoarding in Britain from the Bronze Age through to recent times,1 while last year I spoke about hoards from the end of Roman Britain.2 This arises from a research project (‘Crisis or continuity? Hoards and hoarding in Iron Age and Roman Britain’) funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and based at the British Museum and the University of Leicester. The project now includes the whole of the Iron Age and Roman periods from around 120 BC to the early fifth century. For the Iron Age we have relied on de Jersey’s corpus of 340 Iron Age coin hoards and we are grateful to him for giving us access to his data in advance of publica- tion.3 For the Roman period, our starting point has been Anne Robertson’s Inventory of Romano-British Coin Hoards (RBCH),4 which includes details of 2,007 hoards, including dis- coveries made down to about 1990. To that Eleanor Ghey has added new discoveries and also trawled other data sources such as Guest and Wells’s corpus of Roman coin finds from Wales,5 David Shotter’s catalogues of Roman coin finds from the North West,6 Penhallurick’s corpus of Cornish coin finds,7 Historic Environment Records and the National Monuments Record. She has added a further 1,045 Roman hoards, taking the total to 3,052, but this is not the final total.

  • Aquae Sulis. the Origins and Development of a Roman Town
    7 AQUAE SULIS. THE ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A ROMAN TOWN Peter Davenport Ideas about Roman Bath - Aquae Sulis - based on excavation work in the town in the early 1990s were briefly summarised in part of the article I wrote in Bath History Vol.V, in 1994: 'Roman Bath and its Hinterland'. Further studies and excavations in Walcot and the centre of town have since largely confirmed what was said then, but have also added details and raised some interesting new questions. Recent discoveries in other parts of the town have also contributed their portion. In what follows I want to expand my study of the evidence from recent excavations and the implications arising from them. The basic theme of this paper is the site and character of the settlement at Aquae Sulis and its origins. It has always been assumed that the hot springs have been the main and constant factor in the origins of Bath and the development of the town around them. While it would be foolish to deny this completely, the creation of the town seems to be a more complex process and to owe much to other factors. Before considering this we ought to ask, in more general terms, how might a town begin? With certain exceptions, there was nothing in Britain before the Roman conquest of AD43 that we, or perhaps the Romans, would recognise as a town. Celtic Britain was a deeply rural society. The status of hill forts, considered as towns or not as academic fashion changes, is highly debatable, but they probably acted as central places, where trade and social relationships were articulated or carried on in an organized way.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • And Myths of Rome's Second Augusta Legion and St Augustine's 'Oak'
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 129 (2011), 117–137 Aust (Gloucestershire) and Myths of Rome’s Second Augusta Legion and St Augustine’s ‘Oak’ Conference By DAVID H. HIGGINS Introduction Aust in Gloucestershire has long attracted speculation over the origin of its name. The two favoured hypotheses offer an alternative: either (a) this minor ferry terminus with its settlement was named by (or after) the Second Augusta Legion of the Roman army which, stationed in full strength at Isca-Caerleon between c. 78 AD and the 3rd century, would have regularly crossed the Severn estuary from Sedbury to Aust (Augusta the claimed origin of the place-name) in order to access the main Abona (Sea Mills) to Glevum (Gloucester) artery; or (b) was named in memory of the Roman churchman St Augustine (in the later Middle Ages popularly contracted to ‘Austin’) of Canterbury who, in 603 AD (traditional date), held a conference allegedly at or hard by Aust, beneath a landmark oak tree, with leaders of the Christian Church of the autonomous British kingdom nearest to the recently converted Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Kent.1 The object of Augustine’s conference was to bring about uniformity of practice between the indigenous church of post- Roman Britain and the historic Christian church established by St Peter in the ancient capital of the Roman world. The major subjects of dispute were the British dating of Easter and the form of the baptismal rite (both, the Roman Church urged, should be Roman) and, in addition, Augustine required that the British, although understandably reluctant, should undertake the evangelisation of the pagan Anglo-Saxon invaders of their land.

As many of you will be aware, our membership numbers have been growing steadily over recent years, although relatively few of the people in York who would qualify for membership seem to know about U3A. We are not short of numbers but, given the many opportunities for intellectual stimulation, physical recreation and friendship that our many U3A interest groups afford our members, your committee has agreed that we should collaborate in an initiative launched by the Haxby branch of U3A to make people in our area who are soon to retire more aware of what we offer.
