Anglo-Saxon Coins Reveal Rome's Forgotten 'Little England'
For roughly a thousand years, a fist-sized clump of silver pennies sat undisturbed in a rubbish pit near the Vatican, overlooked and unremarkable. Now those corroded coins have achieved something no medieval manuscript could: they have proved that a busy English neighborhood genuinely existed a short walk from St Peter’s Basilica. Archaeologists excavating beneath the garden of the Palazzo della Rovere have identified twenty Anglo-Saxon coins — the first material evidence of the Schola Saxonum, the “English quarter” of early medieval Rome.
A Hoard of Everyday Money, Not Royal Treasure
This group is comprised of 1.5 ounces of silver coins. These coins were minted in England over about the forty years that spanned the kingship of Edward the Elder (899-924 AD) and the kingship of his son and grandson, Æthelstan (924-939 AD) and Eadred (946-955 AD). They have been traced back to mints across East Anglia, Kent, London and the West Midlands.
Fourteen coins were found together in two ancient rubbish pits containing several coins that had fused together after having been buried for more than a thousand years. The other coins were scattered in the nearby area, along with ten Roman and Italian 10th century coins, and other objects that show evidence of leather working, bone working and metal working across an area of about 3,000 square meters which is about half of a soccer pitch.
What distinguishes it from the typical buried hoard is the fact that there are no signs of a treasury and that the silver coins were not melted.
