Summary

After the war in a building excavation pit, 30 Roman denarii (Galba to Lucilla) were found in an amber-glazed jar from the sixteenth century, wrapped individually in a linen cloth. It is likely that a Roman hoard was unearthed in the Renaissance, and has now been found for the second time.
