Massive hoard of Roman coins found in Bath, UK
#14
If it's indeed all from one year (but how can they tell without researching every coin?) it could be one issue from a particular mint (Londinium?) to pay officials and military.

So when do they ever? Most journalists are quite lazy, newspapers are only interested in fast, gaudy stories. It's what sells that counts, not what's well-researched. :x
