Why is that?

	Gods Graves Glyphs	This cache of coins was found in a field near Stratford-upon-Avon, so obviously this was hoaxed, just like the plays erroneously attributed to "Shakespeare". ;') To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Date and location of it makes me think it has to do with the Boudicca rebellion.

awesome recovery of historical coinage!

The finders get paid the value of the find. Something like this is going to make the detectorist very rich. You probably don’t read about this in other places because people that find large stashes don’t want to divulge where they got them from or give the govt a chance to confiscate them.

No wonder the Roman empire went bust, all their money was buried in England and forgotten.
