Quote:The stations were supposedly built c.AD370, and one (of the others, I think) has coin deposits up to Honorius. So we could perhaps date the destruction to c400 or so.
Actually there's an argument for redating coin deposits in Britain to the mid 5th century despite being from earlier emperors. It was based on studies of coins from Hadrian's wall.
See "Pleading the fifth (century): patterns of coin use at the end of empire" by Rob Collins.
