Factors that determined the location of mints and the function and supply of bronze coinage in the Roman Empire during the fourth century A.D. are considered. The survey is based primarily on a comparison of site assemblages which cover the century, although in their absence hoards provide useful comparisons. Aspects of minting activity and coin circulation in both the western and the eastern empire are discussed, but the distribution of the most satisfactory material has biased the survey to Britain and the German provinces. It is argued that imperial policy towards the mints was strongly influenced by development and change in regional economies.

This paper assesses the condition and arrangements of Anglican churches in Leicestershire and Rutland before the great tide of Victorian restoration. This did not begin in earnest in this area until the 1850s but there is evidence to show that before that time the buildings were generally fairly well maintained. The frequency and characteristics of pre-Victorian features are discussed.
