Caerleon Fortress Baths coins
Six partly fused coins. "The outer ones appear to be of Magentius, but an imitation, and of Valens. The other four are fourth century Fel Temp Reparatio." GCB - coin report Edward Besly believes that the coin identified as Valens is actually a coin of Constantius II, probably irregular (July 99)
