[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 7911103, member: 5682"]Thank you, again, for posting. I found this section of the article very intriguing: “The historians point to the possibility that the coins may have been intentionally hidden, in a context of looting such as those perpetrated by the Alans in the area at that time. Therefore, the find would serve to illustrate a historical moment of extreme insecurity with the violent arrival of the barbarian peoples (Suevi, Vandals and Alans) in Hispania and the final end of the Roman Empire in the Iberian Peninsula from 409 AD.”[/QUOTE]
