I went hunting for #Aethelflaed yesterday. This is the only part of #Chester Walls that I think may include some of her refortification, near to the Northgate.
If it helps to frame suggestions: the paper is about coinage associated with #Aethelflaed of Mercia, written by Catherine Innes-Parker, since deceased, and given at the 27th Congress of Medieval Studies.
I find myself in search of images of the obverse of coins struck in Mercia in the time of #Aethelflaed, and my searches online are not successful. Are there any numismatists who can point me at a suitable reference? #histodons#coins#numismatics
I'm reading up on #Aethelflaed, and the author keeps referring to her shaping of the Midlands. Brought up in Chester, I've always thought of myself as a northern lass, and I keep being knocked off my balance.
Mind you, my Geordie mother agrees with the author!
