This Roman radiate is of Marius who ruled for a brief period in AD 269. The reverse depicts clasped hands & the legend CONCORDIA MILITVM which translates to "harmony with the soldiers" or "unity of the army". #FindsFriday finds.org.uk/pas/recorded...

Eadberht, king of the Northumbrians, died #OTD in 768. He added Cyil (Kyle, Ayrshire) to his kingdom in 750 and joined forces with the Picts to cow the Clyde Britons in 756. Days after the latter venture his army suffered an obscure and severe defeat. In 758, he became a monk.

Knútr (Cnut), king of the English, was at Emperor Conrad II’s coronation in Rome #OTD in 1027. Shortly after, he wrote to Æthelnoth of Canterbury and Ælfric of York to say he had acted on the excessive sums asked of his archbishops when they visited Rome to receive their pallia. #medievalsky

Sadly I don't have any more beautiful Insular harness fittings to offer for this week's Viking camps #FindsFriday - last week was a one-off! However, I thought we'd stay in the west and look at another find from Aldwark. This buckle-plate is ADB925, decorated with knotwork and roundel designs. /1

A photograph of a buckle plate, find DB925 from the Great Army camp at Aldwark. The tongue and loop of the buckle are missing, but deeply-incised designs of interlaced knotwork and ropework roundels can be clearly seen.

This gold half pound of Elizabeth I is one of the 1st coins minted by machinery. Eloy Mestrelle struck machine-made coins in England from 1561 to 1571. He was way ahead of his time, machinery did not supplant the hand-struck method in England until the 1660s. From the collection of The Hunterian.
