<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 3905983, member: 86498&quot;]Sometime in the late 1980&#039;s I acquired part of a hoard or Roman denarii and antoninianii unearthed in the U.K. The most recent coins were of Gordian III. I did not think that even these coins of Gordian were in that great of shape to warrant keeping. It is possible that the hoard was deposited well after the reign of Gordian III. So I sold all but one of the coins an antoninianus of Macrinus which I have since sold. To make a long story short in this hoard was a very badly worn denarius of Marc Antony as well as a denarius of Hadrian and some Severan denarii. Even if we can assume that the hoard was deposited some time in 240-250 A.D. this would make the Hadrian just over 100 years old and the Antony something like 270-280 years old.
