From the Jonathan K. Kern Collection. Ex Triton XXIV (29 January 2021), lot 1151; Pierre Bastien Collection (Part II, Numismatica Ars Classica 114, 6 May 2019), lot 855; Ciani & Vinchon (6 May 1955), lot 439; 1922 Arras – Beaurains Hoard. The Beaurains (or Arras) Treasure is an important Roman coin hoard found in Beaurains, a suburb of Arras, France on 21 September 1922. Soon after its discovery by workmen in a clay pit much of the treasure was dispersed. A.B. Brett, in her article on the hoard in the 1933 Numismatic Chronicle, wrote that "its final reconstruction will be for ever impossible in an exact sense. The general composition of the hoard is, however, well known." In 1977, P. Bastien (the previous owner of the present coin), along with C. Metzger, published a reconstruction of the hoard from the known coins in public collections, as well as a careful analysis of coins that had been offered in the market since 1922. Although they admit the corpus is not complete, they were able to catalog 472 aurei and medallions, and surmised that the original total was upwards of 700 pieces. Due to the composition of the hoard, the authors suggest that the hoarder must have been a soldier at Trier who was present for the many donativa that occurred between AD 285-310. |
