The Synton and Kippilaw denarius hoards: further numismatic evidence for late Antonine and Severan Scotland

Abstract

The recent discovery of two coin hoards – one from the reign of Commodus and the other from that of Septimius Severus – provides an opportunity for a reassessment of the numismatic evidence for events in what is now Scotland between the abandonment of the Antonine Wall and the period immediately following the conclusion of the campaigns of Severus.
