52,000 Roman coins found in Britannia
#23
Coin in type layers implies places in the jar from smaller containers . Perhaps packed at the mint
as made. (Think mint bags of modern coins)
Perhaps the original bags were emptied and refilled with rocks/dirt as a ruse and the intended
target of the deception didn't like the ruse to the point of killing the original owner before the location could be extracted. A much more likely scenario than religious deposition I think.
