    The first regiment known as "50th Regiment of Foot" was raised in North America in 1755 by William Shirley, the British governor of Massachusets. It counted about 1,000 men.

    This regiment was disbanded on December 22 1756.

    In December 1755, a new regiment originally ranking as "52nd" was raised by Abercromby.

    In 1757, when the original "50th" and "51st" regiments of foot were disbanded. The "52nd" officially became the "50th Regiment of Foot".

    Finished 'cooking' 4thC Roman silver with ID from Mark Lehman below

    What youhave here is a silver Siliqua of Gratian, (367-383) the young son ofValentinian I, elevated to Augustus at the age of 7. This piece is fromthe mint at Trier, the exergual mint mark is TRPS• Referencesare RIC IX, 27f-1; and RSC 86a. This type with Roma holdingVictory and a scepterrather than the inverted spear Roma generally holds in her left hand on VRBSROMA Siliquae dates to the period 367-375.

    The typewith a dot following the mintmark is considered somewhat more common than thesame type with a mintmark lacking the terminal dot. RIC scales the frequency as "common", and RSC quotes afairly low estimated "market value" (£ 50 in VF - although this firstedition was released in 1987 so it's natural that by now the listed "prices"are more useful to indicate a general scale of scarcity vis-a-vis demand than asan actual guide to prices one would expect to see or pay).



    However,considering Roman coins in general, Siliquae are far scarcer than, say,Denarii. I've heard it said that you'll see at least 100 Denarii forevery Siliqua you'll ever see - and although I haven't strictly "keptscore" or otherwise checked empirical statistics, I'd say that'sprobably about right.



    It'sa very nice piece which I expect will be quite nice looking after someminor, light cleaning - I wouldn't try to take all of the darker tone off thefields as it will be slightly more valuable with the more "naturallytoned" looking appearance that it's probably possible to achieve bygentle cleaning of this very light darkening.

    Decorated medieval lead spindle whorl

    Domed lead spindle whorls are generally Roman but go through to the post medieval period. Before the use of spinning wheels, spinning was carried out with a spindle and a whorl. The spindle, or rod, usually had a swelling on which the whorl was fitted. A wisp of prepared wool was twisted around the spindle, which was then spun and allowed to drop. The whorl, acting like a flywheel adds momentum to the spindle. By doing this the fibres were extended and twisted into a yarn
