So the mercenary took his pay back, bought a farm and lived happily ever after.
Or, since they found the pouch with at least some of the money still in it, maybe not.
Ok, I am going with the first option and he buried what was left over and they never needed it because everything went swimmingly from that point forward.
(I like happy endings)

The hoard also contains some 360 Roman coins, including 72 gold aurei, and 288 silver denarii dated to between 200 B.C. and A.D. 47. Back when gold aurei and silver denarii were worth something!

Probably some a-hole stole it from the soldier who’d rightfully stolen it, and the a-hole got caught doing some other crime, got just desserts, and no one enjoyed it. But be happy today anyway. :^)

Never will again, because all the Karens (male and female) who claim to be gluten sensitive.

Aurei Denarius would make a good fake Roman name. ;^)

Yep. It is a happy, happy day. Very happy. No bad news allowed.

The gold aurei look to have more gold in them than the stater.

Roman emperors gave an annual stater the union address, and sometimes things in the empire had gone aurei.
I need a nap.

The Ecstasy Of Gold 
SC...Soldiers, gold, thieves, Italians (Romans...) You knew someone would be posting this.
Its an amazing find. Personal savings or plundered loot? Did the owner die by sword or disease? Answers lost to time and history.
To: Pete from Shawnee Mission
I wanted to hog the glory.
This is a sharp lookin’ hoard, even by the standards of ancient gold and silver hoards.
