Go to coinweek.com.  Recently a big hoard of late Roman coins were found in Spain, over 1,300 pounds, mostly of Maximian and Constantine I.  Wow, woudn't that have been fun to discover!!!  It would be nice if some came on the market someday.  Hoards always make me wonder about those who buried them.  Were they killed in battle, died of disease never coming back to get the money?

I would expect that many of these coins will eventually be sold. There are just too many for a museum to hold and there will be many duplicate coins, which would not be very interesting in a public display.

below are a few more pictures.
