“The Frome Hoard and the Breakaway British Empire (AD 286-296)” will be presented by Dr. Sam Moorhead on Wednesday April 25th at 8:00PM in Campus Center Theater (CE) room 002 at the Indiana University – Purdue University (IUPUI) Indianapolis Campus.
The Frome Hoard of 52,503 Roman coins, found in April 2010, is the largest cache of Roman coins ever found in Britain in a single pot. The discovery enables us to carry out a major appraisal of Carausius (AD 286-93), Britain’s ‘forgotten emperor’, who is represented by over 850 coins (the largest surviving group of Carausian coins from a single hoard). Frome Hoard display the original and striking propaganda used by Carausius to bolster his regime.
