Comment

In the lid of the wooden cassette five coins were added. The imprint of the coin of Septimius Severus was in the middle, the coins of Hadrian on the right and left side. The cassette was made of yew wood. It was intended for valuables and Roman coins as well as the imprint of the gold coin. The cassette was placed on the left side of the body, probably next to the legs (?). Both items, the aureus and the cassette, may have no connection with each other. At the moment of finding the aureus was a higher layer and south of the cassette.
