Book Description:
This illustrated booklet gives an account of the discovery, excavation and conservation of the Hoxne hoard. The hoard is one of the richest Roman treasures ever to have been discovered. Found in a field in Suffolk in 1992, it consisted of 14,780 coins and 200 gold and silver objects. Because archaeologists were able to lift the deposit in sections without separating groups of items, the hoard provided a rare insight into the actions of the original owner. He or she must have carefully packed the money, gold jewellery, silver tableware and toilet objects, before burying them for safety during the troubled period that followed the breakdown of Roman rule in Britain in the early 5th century.
