<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3939509, member: 72790"]This does not seem to be a hoard in the sense of hiding the coins from barbarian marauders. Sounds to me like the spot was used by a family as a repository to keep the family savings in a safe spot until it would be needed. What happened to the family? Possibly all dead of one of the plagues that seem to have ben making the rounds from the time of Marcus Aurelius on into the Third Century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
