Acknowledgements

I would like to thank and acknowledge all the help I have been given over the last two years. Two people especially have helped enormously with this book. The first is Tony whose idea this book was and his input, particularly into the finds chapter which was enormous, as was his help with the overall style throughout the book. The second is Micky who must also be mentioned. Her sketches, illustrations and line drawings of finds are first class and provide the informal and amusing flair that I was looking for. Also for her input into the proof reading - she managed to correct my writing into readable English! There are a few others like Sam at the British Museum; Nigel and Gordon from our club who read the proofs, and corrected any slip-ups. Any mistakes that are still there are mine completely. If you find any, please feel free to let us know so we can correct them on the first reprint. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the following photographers for the use of their photographs. • The Trustees of the British Museum and the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS). • Mike Hogan, who provided one of the photos of the Frome coins, and the one of Dr. Alice Roberts and me. • Steve Minnitt, the director of Somerset Museum service who kindly provided the Frome hoard display layout in the Taunton Museum. • Neil, a Somerset farmer, who provided a photo of himself and his cows.
