Some rich person has lost out as well, because the stash was never recovered.
We may speculate that their life could have been lost as well in the military, or even as a civvy. due to barbarian invasion or the social upheaval resulting from invasion.
Hoard would have been retained by a museum for research, and perhaps some would be released into commercial auction years or decades later, when the museum need to raise funds. If that is the case, they will have a provenance, much like shipwreck coins.
