COIN REGISTER 2003 EDITED BY MARTIN ALLEN, RICHARD ABDY AND PHILIP DE JERSEY THE Coin Register provides a platform for the publishing of unusual and remarkable single coin finds from Britain and Ireland which appear to be ancient losses. All Celtic, pre-conquest Roman, Roman silver prior to AD 64, Roman gold and late Roman coins from the fifth century onwards (and silver from the fourth) are welcomed, as are Anglo-Saxon, Norman or Plantagenet coins and their continental contemporaries (down to and including the Cross-and-Crosslets (Tealby) type of Henry II). However, coins outside these categories will still be considered for their numismatic interest. As always, the essential criterion for inclusion will be that the coin is new, by virtue of either being newly found or (if previously discovered) being hitherto unpublished. Single finds from archaeological excavations may be included if it seems that there would otherwise be a con- siderable delay in publication. The listing of Celtic coins in the Coin Register is carried out in association with the Celtic Coin Index at the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford (http://athens.arch.ox.ac.uk/coins/ccindex.htm). Celtic material should therefore be sent in the first instance to Philip de Jersey, The Institute of Archaeology, 36 Beaumont Street, Oxford 0X1 2PG ([email protected]). Finds of Greek and Roman coins should be notified to Richard Abdy, Department of Coins and Medals, British Museum, London WC1B 3DG ([email protected]). Other material should be sent to Martin Allen, Department of Coins and Medals, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge CB2 1RB (if practical, it would be of great help if any large amounts of text could be sent as an attach- ment to [email protected]). Potential contributors may contact any of the above or the Editors of BNJ with any queries about how to submit and set out material. D.J.H. David Holman Contributors I.M.R.L. Ian Leins A.A. A.I.J.
