A few of my better Roman brooch finds. Apart from the odd single find, these mostly come from 3 areas over two farms

To keep good time and to prevent it falling over, a grandfather clock needs fixing to the wall. Look in any grand house and you'll probably see a tatty lump of wood, from the back of the shed. Not me, I went to town, with a nice piece of oak 😁

This coin was made near here, in the city of Camulodunum, by Cunobelin, a king in pre Roman Britain, c. 1-40 AD

Obverse: Ear of corn, CA MV flanking. Abbreviation for the city of Camulodunum. Reverse: Horse right, branch over, ragged mane, CV[N] below. Abbreviation of Cunobelin (Colchester Castle @colmuseums.bsky.social , standing on the foundations of the Roman Temple of Claudius.)

Following a tip off, we were searching a different location for them elusive sharks teeth. No luck today, but I'm not sure exactly where we need to be.

Come visit Hollytrees Museum and learn about the Georgian class system AND that you're getting ever closer to becoming a museum artefact yourself. 😘

#Morningwalk today was early before anyone else was out in the chilly weather. Wallabies out early having breakfast. The bees have mostly closed the hole in the tree with wax. Too chilly for them.

#Alphabetchallenge #WeekWforWacky For me, a really wacky portrait. 🤪 The dies for this coin were made at Berwick-upon-Tweed, not London. The portrait falls well below the standard of those London produced dies.
