| Abstract: |
Examination of the aggregate chronological pattern of coin evidence from fifteen Antonine Wall sites and from 2nd and 3rd century hoards does not unequivocally support occupation of the Antonine Wall into the 180s. Comparison with the coin evidence from Hadrian's Wall confirms the likelihood that AW II lasted from AD 143 to the 160s. Total absence from AW sites of Severan coins must argue against an early 3rd century date for the final abandonment of AW. AR |
