The website is Bookmarked, with as many terms as I could think of.) I'm wondering if the Roman examples could represent what was in circulation more discretely prior, not only to the deposit date, but more generally to the massive issues of denars by the kings of Hungary (c. 15th and 16th centuries), which seem to predominate. If you go down this speculative rabbit-hole, it's easy to imagine the hoard having consisted of several generations' (and, who knows, a couple centuries') worth of the burier's total, net accumulation. --Thank you, less as a collection than as, well, an accumulation of all available monetary capital. To mix cliche, that was my two cents, for what they're worth. ...As a medievals guy, some of my collecting is predicated on coins having circulated over intervals more and less vaguely comparable to what you see that much more consistently in any number of Ancient contexts.[/QUOTE]
