<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 3168515, member: 84744"]I agree that the case for a ritual burial is fairly weak. It is possible, however, especially given the evidence that the hoard was buried near a spring, and evidence for earlier British practices of ritual burial of metals. Your Gresham hypothesis is also a possibility. But given the burial around 293 at a time of great upheaval, when Constantius had just reconquered the Gallic territory and was poised to invade Britain, plus the assassination of Carausius, surely the best bet is an emergency burial by someone who died sometime in the next three years?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
