¹¹¹ Although a few English hoard coins have individual entries on the database, it is policy to give an entire hoard only one summary entry. Lists of hoards in summary form can be found in the Treasure Annual Reports and in the Numismatic Chronicle. Full publication of hoards is still provided through The Coin Hoards from Roman Britain series. A system is being developed to separate hoard coins from single finds on the database, and it is intended to construct a complementary database of Roman hoards from Britain.

¹¹² Metal-detector users refer to run-of-the-mill and poorly preserved Roman coins as ‘grots’.

¹¹³ The willingness of finders to submit large assemblages for study has been heartening. Special thanks are due to all the Finds Liaison Officers who have taken on the extra burden of recording the vast quantities of coins.
