Roman hoards are relatively common in Britain, and most are composed largely of coins. Some hoards would have been buried with the intention of retrieval at a later date (personal hoards, founder's hoards, merchant's hoards, and hoards of loot). Other hoards were likely votive offerings.Context
Found on Synton Hill at Ashkirk by a metal dectorist in 2011. The coins depict the emperors and their families from Vitellius (69 CE) to Commodus (ruled 177-192 CE).Collection
