<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 2909248, member: 72790&quot;]I see that most of the Cluny hoard is from a narrow period of time, which is what most coin hoards are. Often an ancient hoard will be one of coins within a few decades of each other. In most other Roman hoards often the coins are mostly of just one emperor with a few of predecessors and a few immediately following that emperor&#039;s reign. In the case of the Bulgarian find they are spread over a couple centuries. What might account for a hoard covering that much time? Were they all from the same jar?&nbsp; Several jars with coins of only a short period of time in each one or all mixed up over a two century or so period of time? Might coins have been placed in those jars consistently over that two century period as a kind of savings bank or perhaps a shrine where worshippers deposited offerings over a long period of time such as pool neat Bath?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
