This assemblage consisting of 38 siliquae, most of them clipped, is one of the more interesting Late Roman silver assemblages ever reunited in Spain. Only a few of these coins have been published to date (in erudite, lesser known, printed articles or webpages).2 The majority have never been exposed to the specialised public and they deserve publication and comment. The increasing number of clipped siliquae discovered in recent times in Southern Spain is a poorly known phenomenon, and the relatively large size of this assemblage - by non-British standards - offers a virtually unparalleled opportunity for the study of clipped siliquae on the Continent. A detailed examination of the stray finds presented in this article, and their chronological and geographical contexts, may also lead to changes in the comprehension of the clipping phenomenon on late Roman silver coins, and offers new reflections on its possible significance.
