Summary

The hoard was found in a copper-alloy vessel sealed by a further copper-alloy vessel. It comprised 48 kilos of coins which were sold for 40 francs to an antiquarian. The coins were dispersed without being studied. The earliest report by Augé de Lassus notes coins of silver billon or of bronze (radiates and aureliani) with portraits of Trajan (Divi series?), Valerian, Gallienus, Postumus, Claudius II, Tetricus, Aurelian, Tacitus, Probus, Carus and Carinus. Dubiez notes 'large bronzes' (Folles) of Diocletian, Maximian Herculeus and Galerius?, Constantius Chlorus, Constantine II and Maxentius. The hoard was found by M. Révillon while working in a vineyard.
