The Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) was established in 1997 as an initiative to record archaeological objects found by members of the general public. Initially set up in pilot form, in 2003 it was extended to the whole of England and Wales. 1 Surveys of Roman period finds recorded by the PAS have been published in Britannia since 2004. This sixteenth annual report summarises the general character and distribution of Roman finds reported in 2018 and publishes significant individual artefacts recorded by Finds Liaison Officers. OVERVIEW As in previous reports the summary of Roman period finds reported to the PAS in 2018 begins with a discussion of their distribution. Table 1 documents the numbers of object types recorded on the online-accessible database by county, as before using older administrative boundaries from England and Wales for consistency with previous reports and grouping counties by PAS region. The first three categories comprise coins, brooches and other personal ornaments made of metal, these being the numerically most important categories of Roman period finds. The fourth column reports the number of records of Roman objects in all materials, including metallic and non-metallic objects (i.e. ceramic, glass and stone objects and building materials). This follows the same format used for presenting finds from 2016 onwards. 2 As a single record may sometimes document more than one item, for example describing an assemblage of building materials or ceramics or a coin hoard, the total number of Roman objects documented in the year exceeds the total number of records for the year. The number of Roman coins documented in 2018 is therefore considerably greater than the number of Roman period records. Nonetheless the distribution of records serves as a reliable proxy indicator for the distribution of findspots of objects reported to the PAS. 2018 saw many records made for Roman objects found in eastern England, especially in coastal counties from North Yorkshire to Suffolk, in some counties of the southeast Midlands and in central southern and southwestern England. In western England and Wales the number of records is much smaller. The documenting of a small number of large hoards partly explains the very many coins documented in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Lincolnshire during 2018. Significant examples include a Severan denarius hoard from Norton, Doncaster (SWYOR-4B2BFF), and large third-century hoards from Riby, Lincs. (LIN-E5A12D) and English Bicknell, Glos.

The Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) was established in 1997 as an initiative to record archaeological objects found by members of the general public. Initially set up in pilot form, in 2003 it was extended to the whole of England and Wales. 1 Surveys of Roman period finds recorded by the PAS have been published in Britannia from 2004 onwards. This 17th annual report first briefly summarises the general character of Roman finds reported in 2019. From this year we no longer present artefact and record numbers in detail by county, since the regional differences in artefact frequencies documented by the PAS are well-established, with highly consistent patterns having been reported over the last 16 years. 2 Instead, the general totals are given followed by some examples to illustrate the regional variation in 2019. The majority of this report then comprises the publication of significant individual artefacts recorded by Finds Liaison Officers. OVERVIEW In total, 29,571 objects of Roman date were documented in 2019. As a single record may sometimes document more than one item, for example describing a coin hoard, assemblage of ceramics or building materials, the total number of Roman objects documented exceeds the number of records (18,088). The counties with the single largest numbers of records are found in eastern England and, to a lesser degree, central-southern England. 3 In Wales and northern and southwestern England, the number of artefacts documented is much smaller. 4 This regional variability in the distribution of PAS records for 2019 closely follows the pattern established over the previous 16 years. The key factors that determine this distribution include variable use and deposition of metal objects in antiquity, differences in historic and contemporary agricultural practice and the uneven intensity of metal-detector use. 5 Discoveries of coins and brooches again vastly outnumber those of all other artefacts. With the addition of the coins recorded in 2019 (21,487) more than 400,000 Roman coins have now been recorded by the PAS, as calculated from these annual totals, the fruit of continuing emphasis on recording large assemblages of Roman coins in toto. 6 After coins, brooches are the most frequently reported artefact type. A total of 32,492 examples have been documented by the Scheme since 2003 as established in these annual reports, including the 2,067 examples 1
