However, the nature, the ehronologîeal and geographical spread and the impact of these invasions remain mostly unknown. The combined evidenee of texts, epigraphy, numismatics and archaeology has been proven incapable of solvîng these problems.

Remarkable is that bath « believers » as « non-believers ) have based their arguments on very fragmentated and incomplete evidence sirice no catalogues or maps including ail hoards from the period 253-269 existed. The map of H. Koethe is now completely out of date and offers no precise dating. No recent catalogue with the hoards of the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus exist while J. Lafaurie's map of hoards of silver coinage ending on Postumus includes no more than 77 finds. Only the hoards of bronze coinage have recently been published by D. Bollard C). Therefore a catalogue of a1l coin hoards with a terminus post quem under Valerian, Gallienus and Postumus or ending with coins of the contemporary usurpators Ingenuus, Regalianus, Marcianus, Quietus, Aureolus and Laelianus was made. The area covered is Western Europe or the states of Belgium, Germany, France, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain. the UK and Switzerland ("). This resulted in a list of 767 hoards ending with a coin struck between 253 and 269.

These are strikingly large numbers, not only in absolute but also in relative terms. If we study the publications of the Corpus des trésors monétaires antiques de la France (TAF), we find that hoards from the period 253-269 represent sorne 10 % of aIl the ancient hoards found in regîons like Aquitaine, Pays de la Loire or Poitou-Charentes but 25 % in Picardie and ca. 34 °tfo in the region Nord-Pas-de-Calais (in Belgium they constitute sorne 20 % of aIl hoards). It is somewhat surprising ta find out that a relative insignificant period of 16 years can deliver up to a third of ail ancient hoards (including sorne 5 centuries of Roman reign). And (3) Sorne principal skeptics are: R. REECE, Coinage and Currency in the Third Centul'y, in A. KING and M.

ROMAN COIN BOARDS AND GERMANIC INVASIONS AD 253-269 4·3 this while in other prosperous and densely populated regions hoards with a terminus between 253 and 269 are very rare (for example: only 4 in the Provence and relatively small numbers for Spain, Portugal and Britain). Within this mass of hoards there are however large geographical and chronological differences, as can he seen on fig. 1 and 2 for the periods 253-260 and 260-269 and on fig. 3 to 9 for the various sub periods. How can these obvious differences be explained? For exarnple, why does fig. 1 and 5 show us a large concentration of hoards in the Rhône-Saône region around 259-260 but not under the reign of Postumus? On the following pages we will try to find an answer to this question by proposing several hypothetical causes. As we will see, only the Germanie invasion-hypothesis is able to give us a aU-embracing answer to the presence of geographical and chronological concentrations of our hoards (6). Interpreting the coin hoards 1) Basic conditions In 1981 R. Reece wrote : « If the coin hoards are to act as an indicator of unrest then it must be shown: a) that in the surrounding areas ai the same date ihere is an absence of similar hoards, b) iluü in the same arca at differenL dates, but when sitnilar coins were in circulation, ihere is an absence of similar hoards. » C). A quick look at our maps shows that both conditions are met. The large differences in hoard-density between the different regions and countries has already been pointed out, while the Rhône-Saône region is a beautiful example of the second condition: lots of hoards in 259-260 and very few under Postumus. 2) The influence of usurpations on hoarding Western Europe only knew 3 usurpations in the period 253-269: those of Postumus (june-july 260), of Laelianus (june-july 269) and of Marius (july-septernber 269) C). The latter usurpation plays no part here because (6) Remark that the ernphasis lies on concentrations of hoards and not on the hoards individually. We are looking for a theory that can explain the hiding and non-recuperation of concentrations of hoards. This does not automatically mean that the theory can be applied ta ail individual hoards. When we conclude that Germanie invasions were the cause of this flood of coin boards it's obvious that we can't (or even shouldn't) involve every coin hoard in our analysis of the date and location of the invasions and raids as sorne authors have the habit ta do (e.g. Demougeot). (7) R. REECE, op. cil. (n. 3), p. 85. (8) We follow the chronology for the reigns of Valerian, Gallienus and Postumus as descrived by M. CHRISTOL, L'Empire romain du Il r siècle.

Boards with a terminus post quem from AD 253 to 256. Marius was elected emperor after the death of Postumus so he didn't had to fîght battles or plan military carnpaigns in order toestablish his reign. As such hîs usurpation shouldn't have any effect on the hoarding pro cess. As for the revoit of Postumus, he became emperor by laying siege on the fortified city of Cologne, seat of Gallienus' son Saloninus Caesar. Once he had executed Saloninus his authority seems ta be recognized by all the military forces in the West (who fîrst remained neutral in the conflict between Postumus and Saloninus). We have no evidence that Postumus had ta carry out a conquering campaign in arder ta subdue the remainder of Gaul. This means that only sorne boards in the surroundings of Cologne can eventually be linked with his usurpation (9). The usurpation of Laelianus is less documented but his revoit seems to have been limited to the area of Mainz where he was sieged by Postumus. However, only one hoard (Alzey, n" 104) has the potential to be associated with this event. Our conclusion: at most a dozen of hoards has the potential of (9) Hoards possibly linked with the revolt of Postumus could be Flamershaim (AD 258. n" 113), Gymnich (AD 258-260. n" 115) and Mürlenbach (AD 258-260, n" 124).

Is it possible that the large number of coin hoards with a terminus between 260 and 268 are a result of this war? During the actual usurpation of Postumus and the execution of Saloninus, Gallienus was not able ta come to the reseue of his son and ta confront his rival because he was involved in the battle against the Alarnanni. However, once this problem was solved he led his arrny against Postumus, began ta lay siege on a city in Gaul where Postumus was residing but had ta wîthdraw because of an înjury (an event sorneUrnes associated with the second instead of the first campaign) CO). After sorne years of staius quo in which bath GaIlienus and Postumus were in(10) EUTR., Breoiarum, IX, 9, 1; Epitome de Caesaribus, 32, 4 and Historia Augusta, Gall., IV, 4. 48 GIJS DE GREEF Legend: 0 Hoard with reliable dating c Severa! hoards with reliable dating o Hoardwith unreliable dating Fig. 5. Hoards with a terminus post quem AD 258 to 260. volved in campaigns against their Germanie enemies, Gallienus and his general Aureolus launched a second assault but were never able to obtain a definitive victory. The first campaign is usually dated around AD 261 CI), the second around AD 266 (based on types like Salus Posfumi aug, Fides exercitus, Salus exerciti and Salus aug). lt isn't easy to determine the location of these campaigns (possibilities are Spain or Raetia) but the most probable battlefield is assumed to be Gaul where the Pl'Ovincia Narbonensis seems ta have remained loyal to Gallienus in 260. Are there hoards which can be attributed to the first campaign of Gallienus? Looking at figure 6, the numismatic evidence for such a conflict in southern Gaul seems minimal. Only the hoards of Saligny-sur-Roudon (n" 176) and Clermont-Ferrand Il (na 182), both in Auvergne and with a terminus post quem of 261, are candidates for a link with the fist conflict between the Gallic and the Central Empire. Of course this is highly speculative (11) M. CHRISTOL, La Félicité de Poslutne (260-269 J, in H. HUVELlN, M. CHRISTOL and G. GAUTHIER (eds), Melanges de numismatique offerts à Pierre Bastien l'occasion de son 75" anniversaire, Wetteren, 1987, p. 112-115. â ROMAN COIN BOARDS AND GERMANIC INVASIONS AD 253-269 Legend: A .&. 1>. 49 Hoard with reliabledating Severa!boards with reliabledating Hoard with unreliabledating Fig. 6. Hoards with a terminus post quem from AD 260 to 261. and their burial and non-recovery can as good be a consequence of banditism or accident. Also for the second campaign, the hoards are not very helpful. Only the region between Bourges and Autun contains 5 hoards with a possible terminus around AD 264-265 (fig. 7, n" 224, 248, 251, 269 and 271). Was the fortified city of Autun perhaps the place where Postumus was sieged by Gallienus as described by the H isioria Augusta? Or cari a group of 3 hoards (n" 426, 428 and 429) from the Limousinregion and with a terminus of 266-267 be seen as evidence of continuing hostilities by Gallienus' general Aureolus in 267? Of course, ail these associations between hoards and the civil war are only speculative and we aren't even claiming they are historically correct. What matters is that only a very limited number of hoards can be linked with the civil war-hypothesis as an explanation for the burial and nonrecovery of hoards. Again this hypothesis cannot be used to explain the vast majority of finds and the large concentrations in e.g. the RhôneSaône region (in 260) and in Northern Gaul, 50 GIJS DE GREEF Legend: ...

Hoards with a terminus post quem from AD 262 to 265. 4) Robbers and bandits The activities of the latrones, including the Iarnous Gallic bandits called the Bacaudae or Baqauâae, have been presented by the non-believers of the invasion-hypothesis as an alternative theory that could explain the large number of hoards in Gaul. There are however at least two reasons why this cannot be the case. First, banditism was a continuous occurrence in antiquity and can, as such, difficultly be used as a cause for the enormous number of huards in the years 253-269 ( 2 ) . The term Bagaudae is only known from the reign of Maximinianus Caesar ca). J.F. Drinkwater wrote: « Although an increase in bandiiry and the like ai this time is plausible, there is no cause to think thal the problem had gol out of hand. )) and « Thus ii would seem unuiise, ai least on the hasts (12) CIl.., XIII, 259, 2267 and 2282; A.J.L.

Secondly, while banditism, as a continuous occurrence, could eventually be used ta explain the presence of individual hoards it is incapable to do so for the obvious geographical and chronological concentrations. Both fig. 1 and 2 show us that a lot of the hoards are concentrated in northern Gaul. This is not a region where you would expect the presence of huge banditism given the fact that this was the best-secured area of the Roman West (with the limes nearby, bases of the Classis Briiannica and the Classis Germanica Pia Fidelis, and the Iirst fortifications of the Lilus Saxonicum and the Limes Belgicus). 5) The influence of the plague and epidemies One of the by R. Delmaire proposed causes for the burial and non-recovery of the hoards is the occurrence of pestilence or epidemies ('5). And indeed, we have evidence of the plague under the reign of Gallienus. (14) J.F. DRINKwATER, op. cil. (n. 12), p. 20-21 and 130-131. (15) R. DELMAIRE, op. cil. (n. 3), p. 25. 52 GIJS DE GREEF Legende :» Hoardwithreliabledating il.

Many authors wrote that, simultaneously with the Germanie invasions, Rome and Greece were vigorously struek by this dreaded disease (Hi). However we do not known if the pesiileniia also reached Gaul. But even if we assume that this was the case, wculd this have had an influence on the hoarding? If Gaul was struck by the plague, then why do we find 80 many hoards in sorne regions and not in other densely populated regions like the provincia Narbonensis? And let us not forget that pestilence or epidernics weren't that unusual in the Roman world. For example, we have knowledge of an other epidemie under the reign of Trebonianus Gallus (251-253) Ci). Sa why would one epidemie cause numerous hoards and others not? Even the pla gue under Mareus Aurelius (AD 165-166), deseribed as one of the worst in antiquity, has never resulted in an abnormal number of hoards ("). (16) Jlur. via: 33, 5; Historia Augusta.

ROMAN COIN HOARDS AND GERMANIe INVASIONS AD 253-269 53 6) Accidents, coincidence and coin hoards Until the 19th century it was, in the absence of banks, the custom to hide the savings somewhere at home: under the bed, in a hidden niche in the wall, in the garden, below the floor, ... This was also the case in antiquity. But also for the non-recuperation of these hoards it isn't always necessary to look for a cornplicated cause. The unexpected death of the pater familias, who took the secret of the hiding place of the savings to the grave, could have resulted in the loss of the savings for the entire family. The house or villa could have burnt down, maybe as a result of the careless handling of an oil lamp or the kitchen fires, because of a stroke of lightning or of the spontaneous combustion of grain, .,. Again however these accidents can only be used as an explanation for individual cases, not for the whole of the hoards. They are marginal events, which can't explain geographical or chronological concentrations. 7) H oarding and devaluations The devaluation of the Roman antoninianus in the third century AD is a well-known and well documented phenornenon, this both in the Gallic Empire of Postumus as in the Central Empire of Gallienus cg). It is also the most important alternative hypothesis (with regard to invasions) as an expia nation for the hoarding phenomenon between 253 and 269. Delmaire wrote: « Grâce à la datation précise des émissions, on peut constater exisience d'une brutale augmentation du nombre des trésors chaque fois que Tétat modifie la monnaie pour la dévaluer ou la réévaluer. D'ou les pics de thésaurisations en 238, 253 256, 260-261, 266, 268, 274, ... » en). At first sight this seems to be a very acceptable theory. There are however three important objections. First, a devaluation is supposed to be a general phenomenon, but when we examine figures 1 to 9 we see this isn't the case. How can we explain that the devaluation of the year 260 resulted in massive hoarding in northern Gaul and the Rhône-Saône region but not in equally prosperous regions like Aquitaine, the Provence, Britain or Spain where the same (devaluated) coins were in circulation? How can we explain that the AD 260 devaluation resulted in hoarding in the south-east of Gaul but the devaluation of AD 268 didn't ? The answer is quite simple: we can't. And let's not forget that devaluations weren't so unusual in the Roman î J Pénurie â'arqeni-méial et crise monétaire au II, 1, 1987, p. 57-85; D. HOLLARD, La crise de la monnaie au J J ( siecle après J.-C. Synthése des recherches et resultats nouveaux, in Annales. Histoire, Sciences sociales, 50. 5. 1995, p. 1045-1078 and L.H. CaPE. C.E.

DEPEYROT and D. HOLLARD, 11 Je siècle. in Histoire & Mesure, 54 GIJS DE GREEF Empire, 50 why should the devaluations between 253 and 269 have resulted in hoarding and those of the previous periods not? Secondly, even in theory the devaluation-hypothesis can only be used for a part of the hoards, namely those consisting of silver or bronze coins of which the coinage was indeed reformed. 1t can however not been used to explain the presence of (non-devaluated) golden coinage in sorne hoards and it is completely incapable of interpreting the presence of (ca. 60) hoards which include relatively large numbers of golden and silver jewelry and of precious silverware el). Hoards including aurei, jewels or silverware constitute only a srnall fraction of our 767 hoards (sorne 8 0/0, but since they have been relatively better documented the real percentage is probably even lower)' but the fact that such objects were only owned by a small percentage of the population makes their presence highly significative. The third and maybe the most fundamental objective is that devaluations are only capable in explaining the burial of hoards, but they can't explain their non-recovery. It is possible that large nurnbers of hoards in our catalogue have been buried because of devaluation-reasons but, in this study, that is irrelevant. What matters is that the owners of these hoards were never able to recover their savings and this can only be explained by assuming more violent causes like Germanie invasions, civil war or banditism. The conclusion is quite simple: usurpations, civil war, bandltism, plague, accident or devaluation, non of these alternative theories have proven to be campatîble with the image shawn by the hoards themselves. Although they can explain the burial of sorne individual coin boards they can not be used in order to interpret the geogra phical and chronological concentrations of our 767 hoards. Only the Germanie invasions-hypothesis has this potential. The Germanie invasions AD 253-269 In my thesis 1 tried to establish a clear picture of the Germanie invasions under the reign of Valerian, Gallienus and Postumus, by making use, not only of the coin hoards, but also of literary, epigraphie, archaeological and numisrnatic sources. This was of course a lengthy assignrnent and it is impossible to repeat everything here. However, 1 would like ta share sorne interesting rernarks. Our literary sources give a dramatie description of the events between 253 and 269 (22). Among thern there seems ta he one cornmon tendency: (21) E.g. (1 superhoards » Iike Éauze (Gers, n" 441). Talmont-Saint-Hilaire 1 (Vendée. n" 541), Saint-Genis-Pouilly (Ain. n" 650) and Chalain-d'Uzore (Loire, n" 673). (22) For the litterary sources and their reliability : J.F. DRTNKWATER, op. cil. (n. 12) and D. WHiTTAKER. L'importance des invasions du Bas-Empire: peul-on {aire confiance aux historiens't, in RevNord. 77. 313. 1995, p. 11-20. ROMAN COIN HOARDS AND GERMANIe INVASIONS AD 253-269 55 blame Gallienus for aIl the problems and disasters (usurpations, invasions, ...) and praise Postumus. This is however not what the coin hoards are showing us. Figures 3 to 9 give us rather a picture of relative rest under Gallienus and of distress under Postumus. We know that during the usurpation of Valerian in 253 the Rhinefrontier was less protected, a fact of which sorne Germanie tribes took advantage in order to raid the Empire 3 ) . These problems seem however to be resolved rather quickly, partly because of the deployment of nexillaliones of the legio XX Valeria V icirix ( C IL, XIII, 6780), normally stationed in Chester. Figure 3 shows us only a few scattered hoards, a sign of relative peace. Probably this rest was preserved during the 256-258 period. Figure 4 contains more hoards but these should probably be associated with the invasions of 259-260 (same geographical concentrations). Indeed, the invasions of the Franks and Alamanni around 260 have the reputation to have been extremely vigorous 1 ) . Without going in too details (like the routes followed by these tribes), wc can get an idea of this catastrophe by looking at figure 5. However, if we should believe the literary sources, Postumus resolved aIl this. They praise his virtus and moderalio, write us how he successfully drove the Germant, the barbori and the hosles out of Gaul and how he restored the welfare of the provinces (2.'} Orosius wrote: « Posiumius in Gallia inoasit tyrranidem, mullo quidem rei publicae commodo: nam per decem annos ingenli oirtuie ac moderatione usus, el dominantes hosles expulit et perdiies provincias in pristinatn faciem reformavit. » G) . Looking at figures 6 to 9 we can hardly share this vision. Apart from the invasions during the periods 260-261 and 268, which have already received a lot of attention from modern scholars, we see that also between the years 262 and 267 there was a continuous distress in the Gallic Empire (").

Of our 767 hoards sorne 40 % end with coins of Valerian or Gallienus (7-year period or on average ca. 4:~ hoards a year) and sorne 60 % with coins of Postumus or of the sole reign of Gallienus (9-year period or on average ca. 51 hoards a year), The hoards of the period 260-269 have also a tendency to be more dispersed over time in cornparison with the hoards of the period 253-260 (of the dated hoards of the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus 65.5 % could he attributed to the years 258-260). 56 GIJS DE GREEF rivers what presumes that sorne attacks were carried out by boat). The Alamanni were less active after their heavy defeat near Milan in 260. This brief example points out sorne of the difficulties when examining the invasions: literary and numisrnatic sources which sometimes contradict each other and Roman authors who weren't always as good informed or objective as we might hope. Conclusion The coin hoards of the reigns of Valerian, Gallienus and Postumus are very varied regarding their composition, way of burial and cause of hiding or non-recovery. This makes that a study of these finds will always remain difficult. But that doesn't mean that a lot of historical information can't be obtained, although our approach must always be critical or even skeptic. Not every hoard is the result of an invasion and not every hoard is of much use. However, the geographical and chronological concentrations of these hoards are very significant when studying the history of the troubled third century AD and the Germanie invasions. Catalogue In this catalogue, consisting of 767 hoards, all coin hoards ending with coins of Valerian, Gallienus (and theîr family) or Postumus are included. Of the hoards ending with coins of Claudius II and Postumus, only those finds which cou Id be dated in the brief period of the joint reign of these two emperors, are included. Geographically the research was limited to 9 countries: Belgium, Germany, France, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom and Switzerland eS). In the catalogue, ail hoards were published in the following order: first sorted on country, secondly on the name of the hoard (in alphabetical order). An exception was made for the 533 French hoards which have first been sorted on regîon (in alphabetical order), secondly on department (in alphabetieal order) and only then on the name of the hoard (in alphabetîcal arder). Together with the name of the hoard (mostly the name or place under which it was published or is known) also an administrative indication is given 9 ) . Then a short description of the hoard is given: usually date of finding, number and type of coins and the terminus post quem. References of coins are to Roman Imperial Coinage (RIC) and G.
