It is instructive to compare this list of coins, casually dropped at intervals during the Newstead occupation, with the contents of a hoard discovered in 1909 at Castle Bromwich, near Birmingham.[1] The latest of the Newstead pieces points plainly to the early part of the reign of Commodus as the time when the Roman garrison was finally withdrawn. The denani of Pius and his consort had evidently been in circulation on the spot for some considerable period. Those of Marcus and his wife had not yet reached Caledonia in any quantity. Commodus himself is represented
