2 The presence of Roman coins in Scotland had already been discussed several times by A. Robertson, most recently in “The circulation of Roman coins in north Britain: the evidence of hoards and site-finds from Scotland,” in Carson, R. A. G. (ed.), Scripta nummaria romana. Essays presented to Humphrey Sutherland (London 1978) 186–216 Google Scholar.

3 But not infallible. No. 86: Beck Row, Mildenhall, Suffolk, is not listed or cross-referenced under its original name, and the EID MAR coin from this hoard not mentioned in index A III (“Rarities or coins rarely recorded in Romano-British hoards”); the Juba denarius also in the hoard escapes mention in the same index, though coins of both the Republic and of Antony are noted in appropriate indices. See Burnett, A. M., “The Beck Row, Mildenhall, Suffolk, Treasure Trove,” Coin hoards from Koman Britain 4 (BritMusOccPap 43, 1984) 15–24, here no. 86Google Scholar.

7 In some ways many of the entries in Robertson's catalogue resemble those in the CMTAF, a continuing series that attempts to record coin finds of all periods made in France. The quality of the data varies widely and much of it is almost unusable. For a discussion of recent volumes, see Guest, P. and Popovitch, L., “Plenty of bricks but where's the mortar?
