Good story! I've become interested in the Roman hoard coins. Just picked up one from the Epfig Hoard! They have a fascinating story as well: "A hoard of Roman bronze coins was buried in the ground in Epfig in today's Alsace, France. These coins were reportedly buried by Constans himself, former ruler of the Western portion of the Roman Empire! Constans and his generals beat a hasty retreat in order to stop an impending invasion. Not wanting to be encumbered with treasure, one of these generals, or perhaps even Constans himself, buried a hoard of Roman coins in the ground, intending to retrieve it after the war with the Picts. But the general never returned. The coins remained buried in the Alsatian earth until the 21st century, when they were discovered by a crew digging a new sewerage system in the small town of Epfig!" -BullionSharks.com
