A hoard of 515 Roman antoniniani coins was found in July 1967, on land to the east of Deeping St James. The findspot was only c.250m to the north of that of a Roman ritual crown (see PRN 33456). The latest coins in the hoard date to c.272 AD. {1}{2} 'In July 1967 a hoard of 515, third century Roman antoniniani and portions of the pot in which they had been contained was discovered at Priory Farm in the Welland Valley at Deeping St James. The hoard which was submitted to the British Museum for examination some years later consisted, with the exception of a few coins of the joint reign of Valerian I and Gallienus, of poor alloy coins of the last issues of Gallienus, Claudius II and Quintillus, and of the Gallic emperors from Postumus to the Tetrici. The governing body of Christ Church, Oxford, has made an outright gift of the coins to the City Museum, Lincoln.' A total of 515, third century antoniniani coins, ranging from Valerian I to Tetricus II (253 - 274 AD) were recorded. {3}
