Must have been quite the threat to get the Romans to bury that and then forget where.

 

The Trier Gold Hoard is claimed to be the largest Roman gold hoard ever discovered. It comprises more than 2650 aurei with a total weight of about 49.57 pounds troy.

  4. Someone buries the treasury, then before it can be dug up, the people who know where it is are killed, deported, sold off ...
