Actual location of the hoard uncertain; radford locates it in "a field two and a half miles nw of honiton;" the bm, in the garden of "phileona" in honiton, but the latter possibly in error (jrs).18 of these coins now in exeter museum. Earliest coin is a siliqua of julius ii. Others include 4 of valens, one of gratian, 2 of valentinian ii, and the latest 5 are of the virtus romanorum type minted at treveri in 392-395.
