ABSTRACT
An earlier paper on the mints and coinage of Carausius and Allectus 1 included an outline of the mint-marks on these coinages and their probable sequence. As the paper was not intended for a specialist numismatic readership, the sequence of issues at the various mints was presented simply as a pattern without a discussion of the detailed numismatic evidence and argument which lay behind the construction of this pattern, and the opportunity is now taken of remedying this lack. The subject is, I think, apt in the context, for Albert Baldwin’s interests included both the ancient coinage and the coinage of Britain, themes uniquely combined in the coinage of the British empire of Carausius and Allectus. Indeed the last of our many transactions over the last twenty years was concerned with the acquisition by the British Museum of the unique bronze medallion of Carausius.
