Römischer Schatzfund aus dem Vicus des Kastells Eining

Abstract

When in 1949, during unauthorised digging west of the southwest corner of the fort at Eining, twenty-five denarii and twenty bronze coins were gathered from burnt debris within a small area, and an aureus only a few metres away, the author could explain this concentration of precious metal only as parts of a hoard already scattered when the building was destroyed and later by ploughing. The history of these finds is tangled: the local heritage officer reported them, the landowner was told to stop digging, part of the material reached the museum at Abensberg, and a Munich collector made notes and plaster casts. After the museum moved, the pieces could be checked against the originals, which produced numerous additions and corrections.

This summary was produced automatically from the digitised full text and has not been checked by the editors.
