A young Roman woman met with a banker in Augusta Vindelicum with a large number of denarii to invest.
“Did you hoard all this money by yourself?”
“No, my sister hoard half of it.”

Probably a moneylender's hoard, something like that. Roman banking was all private party lending.

There were also many intermittent rebellions and mutinies from episodes of Roman cruelty and misrule. The Roman imperial system was prone to such disorders.
To: BenLurkin
I have heard that before going off to battle the pay master of a Roman Army Unit would bury the money in a secure location until they returned and then and only then would they get paid (no sense in paying a dead guy). If the pay master died the location of the money died with him.

All I dug up this week was ¥5,000, but that’s not bad. I’m about to head out for some more metal detecting now. I dream of finding a WWII or ancient hoard.
