[Archeology/ Wildlife] so did everybody hear about the Spanish badger who found a hoard of Roman Era coins?

Here we go

Badger leads archaeologists to hoard of Roman coins ...

I am excited about what we could learn about daily life away from the imperial center from this find!

And look at those photos of the site, isn't it amazing?

My Mom says it "looks like you should find truffles there, not somebody's coin hoard"

i did! Jorts mentioned them on twitter!

Jorts is a kitty of deep culture!

I LOVE IT

Badger, presumably: What are all these weird flat rocks doing :| /chucks them out

Badger: BIG SHRUG

What a fantastic find. Coins from the late Principate through the Dominate. I'd love see the graph of how fast the silver content of those coins declined over the centuries.

This period is prime "Oh Fuck It's All Coming Apart" for the Empire.
