thedeadpoint Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 The range of centuries in one small stash is astounding. Suggests that the stash is older than the 7th century I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarotta Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 The range of centuries in one small stash is astounding. Suggests that the stash is older than the 7th century I guess? How would that be possible? The artifacts, the coins, go back to the 4th, they say, but the most recently minted coin defines the "terminus ante quem" (nothing earlier than this). They could have been buried yesterday, but they could not be locked up before the coins were minted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant "no older than" the 7th Century for the reasons you suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
