1 Roman coins found by metal detectorists.
2 Thirteen coins recovered by metal detectorists in the area of Didgley Brook, of which three were of later 3rd century, and the remainder of 4th century date. The condition of the coins was poor. They were scattered separately over a number of metres of the stream bed, and it seems probable that they had been washed down-stream.

period Roman About 43 AD to 409 AD (the 1st century AD to the 5th century AD)

The Roman period comes after the Iron Age and before the Saxon period.

The Roman period in Britain began in 43 AD when a Roman commander called Aulus Plautius invaded the south coast, near Kent. There were a series of skirmishes with the native Britons, who were defeated. In the months that followed, more Roman troops arrived and slowly moved westwards and northwards.
