They were buried in 19 amphoras in the town of Tomares near Seville. I found the article on seeker dot com which used to be Discovery news online. I'm sure you can find the article with a search, as I'm not supposed to post outside links. They said the coins were in barely used condition. I thought I would give you all a heads-up to search for the recent news article, Shane Report this Post to the Staff

There are no more info about the finding... ...and probably we are going to know NOTHING more about the finding. I suspect that all those coins are "buried" in a dark room of a museum with no more attention. Report this Post to the Staff
