<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8058237, member: 128351&quot;]Never heard of a hoard mixing owls or alexanders with Roman denarii. Or even of a hoard of Attic owls found near Rome. In the list of all known hoards containing Attic owls, the nearest from Rome is IGCH 1905 in Pyrgi (today Santa Severa), the ancient port of the Etruscan city of Caere, only 37 km from the Forum. There were tets from Leontinoi, Messina, 3 from Syracuse and 4 from Athens. Its date is not clear : after 440 or 384 BC. At this time the Romans did not use silver coins yet, and there were even probably no Romans in Pyrgi: they did not establish a colony there before c. 200 BC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
