Excerpt from Bulletin of the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology: January, 1930 The importance of the hoard has been pointed out by Mr. Salisbury in a paper read to the Royal Numis matic Society in January, 1929, and in several articles and letters to The Western Gazette of February lst, March 22nd, and April 5th of this same year. The coins are poor and insignificant as coins, but this was usual with all the Roman money of the late 4th century a.d., a period of nearly unparalleled debasement and carelessness of execution in the mints. The present hoard is, how ever, both larger and better preserved than any other of the period which has yet been adequately published, and its value lies in the light it throws on the relation and organization of the various mints during that obscure half-century.
