Take a look at the Gens' wikipedia page, some interesting stuff about the family.

As for price, not masses - it seems to be a common issue, and is in low grade here. Id think £10-20.

What is of interest if finding this in southern Poland.

Are there any local Archaeological associations that you could share information of this find with?

A "Momento" of the Goths?
