I bought this in a Lot of 25 Antoninianii on eBay in 2012. The seller had another 4 lots of 25 Antoninianii, from the same Hoard, that sold. He only stated that they were part of a metal detecting find in a field near Harlow in 2003. The actual finder did not want to tell him were they were found. Such is the shady world of Metal detectorists and the plight of our Heritage.
