Dutch archaeologists have recently completed the excavation of a unique #Roman treasure hoard dating to the beginning of the 5th century AD. The hoard partially consists of a combination of gold coins and pieces of silver tableware which had been deliberately cut up (hacksilver). Why was the precious and richly decorated Roman silver tableware cut into pieces and buried? According to the article, the treasure appears to have been buried deliberately, possibly at a time of crisis, for religious purposes, or most probably even a combination of both. ow.ly/wi9OU
