Roman Coins from York

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis and overview of some three thousand Roman coins recovered through scientific modern excavation, undertaken over more than half a century by the York Archaeological Trust and others, at a total of more than 90 locations within York and its near vicinity. It represents an important element of an on-going programme of publication and re-assessment by the author of coinage from major sites along the line of Dere Street, including Aldborough (published in volume 91 of this journal), Catterick, Piercebridge, Binchester and Corbridge.
