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.

    No big deal. I'm always finding coins between the sofa cushions. It adds up.

      And had they kept their mouths shut and not sought attention, they'd be living a bit different life.

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

    It would have made a decent down payment on the sea plane.
