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.

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!

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.
