Victor Strode Manley, in Volume 10 of his Regional Survey Of The Warminster District, compiled in the 1920s and 1930s, noted that in 1932 a coin was thrown up by a fallen tree in Gasson’s Field, on the Tilshead Road, Chitterne.
Describing the coin, Manley wrote; “The lettering is corroded almost beyond recognition, but Mr. H.J. Wheeler was of the opinion it as a Constantine. If so it would probably be that of Emperor Flavius Claudius Constantine, the second Constantine of thirteen, 312-340, as he ruled over Britain and Gaul. The coins were minted at Constantinople. The first Constantine ruled the whole Empire, and except for the second, the others were mostly concerned with the Eastern Empire only.”
