Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Early Danish military levies required the provision of ships and their crews, each of 40 rowers plus steersman and pilot. When this requirement was later [12th century) transformed into tax-payments, the figures 40 and 42 continued to recur, providing confirmation that the number of coins in the royal purse of Sutton Hoo - 40 coins and blanks plus two ingots - was determined by the size of the crew. | ||
