<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 8105721, member: 80783&quot;]I missed the party but I doubt that the uncleaned lots that flooded the market from Eastern Europe and the Middle East included that many Sestertii. Must have been mainly Ants, LBRs and Provincials that used to circulate there while most Sestertii and Denarii seem to have been found in the western provinces of the empire.</p><p><br /></p><p>Turcan´s study is not online, but I find it interesting that the oldest coin was struck under Augustus and was obviously still in circulation by the time the hoard was buried during the joint of Valerian and Gallienus. </p><p>Who ever collected and found it did not pick out rarities because the likes of Pertinax, Didius Julianus, Manlia Scantilla, Didia Clara, Macrinus, Diadumenianus, Julia Paula, Aquilia Severa, Paulina, Gordian I and II, Aemilian and Mariniana are all present.</p><p>Only for coins of Geta however (seems to suggest Damnatio Memoriae) and none of him as Caesar (but 10 of Caracalla as Caesar alone).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
