The House of the Vestals Hoards, or the Casa delle Vestali Hoards are a set of two coin hoards discovered in and around the House of the Vestals, on the Roman Forum during the late 19th century.[1]
The first hoard, discovered in 1883, consisted of 836 primarily Anglo-Saxon coins as well as several artifacts. Subsequent excavations in 1899 revealed a cache of 397 gold solidi hidden under the floor of a small room in another part of the complex. This second hoard primarily consisted of coins minted during the rule of Anthemius, and was likely buried before or during the Siege of Rome in 472.[1][2][3]
These hoards are a testament to the continued usage and activity of the Forum during the waning days of the Roman Empire, with the Anglo-Saxon hoard of 1883 providing unique insight into Holy See and British relations during the 9th century.[1][2][3][4]
