Conservation and excavation of the Poole hoard is continuing, with work now on-going on the smaller clod. From this clod a rare coin has emerged, a nummus of Martinian who was the Roman emperor from July to September AD 324. Martinian is depicted on the obverse of the coin wearing a radiate crown and reads D N M MARTINIANVS P F AVG. The reverse depicts Jupiter standing left, holding Victory on a globe in right hand and eagle-tipped sceptre in left, with a captive on ground to right. The reverse legend reads IOVI CONSERVATORI. This coin is a particularly rare example and there is no other example currently recorded on the PAS database of this type.

Another coin from the small clod is this nummus of Fausta the second wife of Constantine and compared to her contemporary empresses, Helena and Theodora, is a lesser spotted face due to her early demise. Fausta was reportedly boiled in a bath amid rumours of an affair with her stepson Crispus (also executed at the same time)! This coin depicts the bust of Fausta right wearing a necklace and reads FLAV MAX FAVSTA AVG. The reverse depicts the Empress standing, looking left with a veiled head and holding two children in her arms. The legend reads SPES REIPVBLICAE. Fausta whose coins were minted AD 324-328 has 187 coins currently recorded on the PAS database.
