      Um, so this is pretty ace - a Sasanian silver drachm of the period 590-628, found on the Thames foreshore at Putney https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/845582 …pic.twitter.com/3wDh4gQvTU

      PAS entry countenances it being a Viking or modern import, but also that it may have arrived as a 'genuine' import of late 6th/early 7thC...

      Given that we now have a fair few of these plus Sasanian gems in 7thC graves, I do like the latter option... ;)https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/882319262056099841 …

          Poss continuing 'Byz' trading through period Sasanians in control of Levant and Egypt (E7thC), esp given similar coins finds there? :)

          Interestingly, there was an ex-Persian prisoner/Armenian bishop in Tours and a pilgrim named John the 'Persian' in Rome in the 590s. 1/2

          So it's not entirely implausible for someone from Persia to visit England, especially as the 590s was a time of peace in the Mediterranean.

          Oh, fab! I'd have no problem with that :) Though I'd say now too many coins for individual visitors? All but one seem to be same era too, &>

          > such coins rare in E Med generally, by+large — together, might all suggest finds reflect specific http://E.Med  circumstances??

          Hah! :) Of course, if I'm right & simply reflect continuing direct trade between E Med and UK in period of Sasanian control of Levant/Egypt>
