Viking finds !

[TheDane]

These are new finds from the Viking trading place that I discovered two years ago.

From left in the upper row you see what could be a Roman Follis (3rd - 4th century), a Denar of Ludovicus (early 9th century), Two pieces of trading silver and a small polyedric weight (all Viking Age).
From left to right in the lower row: two viking age lead weights, two pieces of silver drops, one fragmented fibula.

Hope you enjoy the photo !

Dane those are what you call great finds. That 9th century coin is fantastic !. I've had plenty of those polyhedral weights from one site in Lincolnshire England (a Viking army over wintered there in AD873). Those weights range from six dot, four dot,three dot, two dot, and the tiny one dot. No five dot weights are known.

I got this off ebay for peanuts from Norfolk, weighs 82.36g (I think 10 Ortugar ), not seen any other this size.
No-one has worked out what it says, any ideas?
