Hi Chris

It's a nice early one, from a known reverse die, from near the start of Gallo-Belgic E class 1 so should date to c.57 BC as the series probably began soon after the start of the Gallic Wars in 58/7; CCI 12.0837.

I've recorded the two quarters, the oval coin with a fairly clear 'boat' is 12.0838 and the round one with a more worn boat is 12.0839.  Both are from fairly early in the Gallic War series and are Scheers class 3 (her earliest Gallic War quarter type), probably struck not long after the stater.  They're standard types, nothing particularly unusual about them.  Where there are three GB E and D there are usually more so there could be quite a few.

Thought originally to be a forgery but turn out to be 50 BC British G 'Early Clacton' low grade gold staters - reported as hoard to museum

CCI 12.0843

The cut fragment is now 12.0840 and the full stater 12.0843. I'm not at all sure that these are forgeries, especially the full coin, because late British G 'Early Clacton' staters can often look quite rough and the weight of 5.07g is in line with it being genuine, but very base (in some cases the gold content is under 20%). Also there are two hoards, Clacton 1898 and near Woodbridge, Suffolk, where early Gallo-Belgic E staters have been found in association with Early Clacton gold, so your finds would make a lot of sense as a third hoard of this type.

This is an interesting and widely varied group spanning over a century.

The first seems to be Tetricus I, 270-273, (but might also be Victorinus), with whose coins I'm pretty sure you're quite familiar.  Unfortunately the reverse was struck using such a badly worn-out die that I can't be certain which personification or deity might have been intended. Although Pax holding an olive-branch and scepter is always a safe guess for the Gallic Empire pieces unless you have some details or legend indicating otherwise, I believe that might be an "A" at 5:00 on the reverse, which would make it more likely to be "SPES PVBLICA" with Spes (Hope) holding a flower in her outstretched right hand and hitching the hem of her skirt with the other as she walks to the left.

The second is a posthumous commemorative of Theodora, 2nd wife of Constantius I, struck just after the death of Constantine I (337-340) by Constantine's 3 sons as Augusti - Constantine II, Constans and Constantius II.  The reverse - legend PIETAS ROMANA - shows Theodora as Pietas standing right and holding a child in her arms.  I can't be certain, but if the 1st character in the exergue is an R, it's from the mint at Rome. You don't seem to find very much by way of official Roman Æ's from the period after Constantine's death - although you do find the odd siliqua - so this seems sort of unusual.  This belongs to the same period as the last of the 1-standard GLORIA EXERCITVS pieces and the VRBS ROMA & CONSTANTINOPOLIS / GLORIA EXERCITVS "official mules", as well as the 1st round of posthumous commemoratives for Constantine - the type with the quadriga beckoned heavenward by the Manus Dei. 

The third piece is actually fairly rare and quite interesting from a British History standpoint.  This is a little "Æ4" nummus of Magnus Maximus (383-388), with a so-called "campgate" reverse - more likely a representation of a signal-tower/"mile castle" from a Roman frontier fortification.  These would have been strung along a frontier, as along Hadrian's wall, and provided a way of quickly passing information up and down the border.  It could also be a city-gate, but since cities generally grew up around/out of military camps, the distinction between "camp" and "city" gate is fairly vague at best.  The legend on the reverse would be SPES ROMANORVM if you could make it out.  The exergue is similarly illegible, but this would be from a western European mint since that was the only part of the Empire he controlled - and in fact, when he went to expand his territory to include Italy, he met his demise at the hands of Theodosius at the battle Poetovio.  Rudyard Kipling made him a character in one of his short stories - "Puck of Pook's Hill"

BC Roman silver sent for ID- interesting dug condition, cooking to remove crust

This one took a little digging - since there's no legible inscription at all.

Turns out that first off, you had the reverse photographed upside-down as you sent it to me. If you look carefully (it's weakly struck) you can make out a peaked roof with statues at the peak and eves. This is an elevation of the Curia Julia - which still exists in the Forum in Rome - the edifice is represented by 3 stout uprights supporting the architrave and surrounded with a balustrade on 4 short columns at "waist level".

It's illegible, but on a better-preserved example you would see IMP CAESAR across the architrave - the only writing on this piece by Octavian (before he became Augustus). The portrait is of Octavian, of course. This piece dates to about 30-29 BC, or shortly before Octavian became Augsutus, dissolving the Republic and creating the Principiate - the official beginning of the Empire.

This piece carries a fairly high estimated price in Sear where it is # 1557; RSC 122, RIC 266; & BMCRR 4358 / BMCRE 631.

Mark

Very unusual to have a piece with such clear types and still have it require almost an hour to find in the literature. Not at all the sort of thing we normally see in British digs - particularly around Colchester which, although it was a really major Romanized center, dates at its earliest to mid-1st century AD - by which time this coin would have been very unlikely to still be in circulation, at least in the condition we find this one.

We have no proof, of course, but this would seem to indicate either an earlier Roman presence - perhaps of some private, non-governmental, perhaps mercantile establishment or center of operation - or of significant trading activity to bring this, among other pre-Claudian, Continental types of coins, to this general location. The tin mines were nowhere near the Eastern part of the Island, right? I'm afraid that my knowledge of the geology/geography of the British Isles is poor to non-existant, but I think of the mining districts being more a feature of lands to the west, Cornwall & Wales, etc. But tin was certainly the most important (in the point of view of importers on the continent) "export product" of the Island(s) before the establishment of an ongoing, official Roman presence. I know there were flint mines not too far north of London, a good friend is originally from Feltwell, but that activity rather significantly predated the Hellenistic age and I don't think there's any geological connection between flint and tin.

As dug and 'Cooking' Roman silver - still more to do yet and then I will resent it to Mark Lehman

The details are still a bit fuzzy, but I can tell you that it's a denarius of Hadrian (117-138 AD.) and the reverse type is TELLVS STABIL. A woman - the personification of Tellus - standing left holding a plow-handle and a rake - 2 corn plants protrude from the ground behind her. This is a product of the Mint at Rome in 133 AD. The obverse reads (or should read) HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P - and if you study it closely, you can tell that it does have that legend.

4thC Roman bronze coin sent for ID

This is a CONSTANTINOPOLIS commemorative.  These were issued along with a parallel VRBS ROMA type in commemoration of Rome at the time that Constantine inagurated his new capital at Constantinople. These were struck between 330-337 AD. at mints all over the Empire.  They are contemporary with the common GLORIA EXERCITVS coins with 2 soldiers flanking 1 or 2 standards, with which I am sure you're familiar.
On the obverse is the allegorical personification of Constantinople as a helmeted and armored woman facing left and holding a spear over her shoulder.  The reverse shows Victory standing left in the prow of a galley holding a spear and leaning on a shield.  In the exergue is (I believe) TRP• meaning it's from the mint at Trier.

This piece looks as though it might acutally be able to be somewhat improved with some careful cleaning.

Very interesting 4thC Roman bronze coin with prancing animal on back - sent to mark Lehman for ID

I'm going to have to do a little more research, but I can give you some preliminary findings -

This is an antoninianus of Gallienus, 253-268  It was during his time that the silver content of the "silver" denominations finally fell so low that they could not be made to look "silvery" without resorting to some sort of silvery coating.  The way this was achieved is still somewhat debated, but it seems likely that when the blank flans were annealed prior to striking, they became fire-stained and so had to be bleached or "pickled" - this depleted the copper at the surface and left the silver as tiny enriched "beads" which, when the coin was struck, united to become a very thin silver(y) coating.  This didn't last very long, as you might expect.

Gallienus, due to his long reign and the hideous inflation in the Empire at the time, was among the very most prolific of coin producers at a time when the endless reproduction of the same few types we see in the next century hadn't yet begun.  Gallienus, therefore, has more types of antoniniani altogether than all the other rulers who ever struck antoniniani combined.

That does seem to be an animal on the reverse, but which animal it is supposed to be still escapes me. 
Those antoniniani with animal reverses are said to belong to a so-called "Gallienus Zoo" which is, itself, a relatively huge group and is an exclusive collection focus for many people.  I have a gallery illustrating 38 different specimens (not all different types, however) from the so-called Gallienus Zoo at: http://www.stoa.org/gallery/album452?page=1

If you have a quick look through it, I think you'll see the problem I'm encountering.  Although it seems certain that an animal was being portrayed on this coin's reverse, which one is a mystery.  Without a single letter of legend from the reverse, I don't even know which series of animal types to begin to look in - this gallery has no examples from the rather rare category of legionary animals, so there are whole categories of animalia which I am at a loss to use even to do pattern recognition identification.

There are several websites completely dedicated to the types of Gallienus and family, when I have the time, I may run through one or more of them trying to see what that straight-line object might be - I can't make sense of it as a spear, trident, weapon, exergual line, or any other sort of straight-line feature in relation to the body of any of the many animals - real and mythical - with which I am familiar.
