According to Heritage Daily a chronological analysis places the timeline of the coins to between AD 324 (coinage of Licinius), and AD 340 (coinage of Constantine the Great).
The coins were reportedly found in fairly shallow water off the coast near Arzechena. This probably means that the site is not far from Porto Cervo.
