<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 4566074, member: 99554&quot;]This is the more recent document (1903) talking about the discovery of the hoard. The translation of the description of the coins could be :</p><p>&quot;<i>all these coins, in the third type of Apollo with wheel on reverse accompanied by the letters M-A between the spokes...&quot;</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]1130645[/ATTACH] </i></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]1130646[/ATTACH] </i></p><p>The Apollo&#039;s head with a wheel on the reverse, plus the 2 letters M-A are certainly an indication that these coins were Marseille obols. Here is an example dated circa <b>200-121 BC</b>. I think we can call them ancient.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1130647[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Now about what happened to the hoard, your guess is as good as mine![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
