THE TREASURE OF TRAPRAIN
In  1919, Alexander Ormiston Curle recovered a hoard of Silver plate. Consisting of over 53 pounds of
sliced-up Roman era silver, the discovery was made in a pit within the boundary of the settlement earlier
uncovered. Four Gallic coins were discovered with the hoard; one of the emperor Valens, three of Arcadius
and one of Honorius, which dates the find to some point in the fifth century AD. The quality of some of the
items suggests that they may have come from as far afield as Rome, Ravenna, or possibly Antioch or
Constantinople.
Most objects had been crushed and hacked to pieces, and only some were left intact. A great deal of the find
was table silver, but there was also early Christian items and remnants from a Roman officer's uniform.
