With these dramatic words Eutropius and other Roman authors descrîbed the events, which took place under the reign of the emperors Valerian (253-260), Gallienus (253-268) and Postumus (260-269). 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. This is why, from the beginning of the 20th century, many scholars have sought a link between the Germanie invasions
and the hundreds of coin hoards from this period which have been found
ail over Europe e). This, in sorne cases aIl to automatically supposed,

decennia C). 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 The map of H. Koethe is now completely out of date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

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. Histoire politique de 192, mort
de Commodus, à 325, concile de Nicée, Paris, 1997. This publication cao also be used as
an overall guide for this period or in arder to retrieve the references to the various
Iitterary, epigraphical, ... sources. These cao also be found in X. LORIOT and D. NONV,

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).

being linked with usurpations, Ior the other 99 % of the hoards an USUfpation-hypothesis can not be used in arder ta explain their burial and
non-recovery.
3) The civil war between Gallienus and Postumus
Gallienus has never been able ta defeat Postumus but we known frorn
sorne authors that he tried. 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,

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

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,

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

of pariicular lawlessness. ) (14). 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.

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 (").

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

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:

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 (").
Especially the Franks (and the Saxons or Frisii?) seemed to have caused
a lot of havoc (with sometimes a remarkable association of hoards with

(27) Sorne numhers support this image of relative peace under Valerian and Gallienus and troubles under Postumus. 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).

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. ELMER, Die Münzprâgung der gallischen Kaiser in Kôln, Trier und Mai/and, in BJ, 146, 1941, p.
1-106. The followîng abbreviations are used:
