OK, now you're talking! That puts a whole different light on things. Wasn't Procopius actually belisarius aide in the vandal campaign?
I'm still surprised that a) the treasure survived all the centuries and the Gothic sack of Rome and b) that it was sent to Jerusalem, but Procopius is what I call a good source on this.
