<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4001577, member: 19463"]Someone once pointed out to me that the split between Sofia and Varna suggests theft at Varna because of the relative lack of rare coins in the Varna count. For example, of the 54 total Pertinax denarii, only one was at Varna. A random or careful split would suggest something more like ten. There is also the question of why there were zero coins of Pescennius Niger reported in the hoard. There are explanations that do not involve theft but the situation looks bad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
