"Roman Britain, buried in the 5th century AD. Found at Hoxne, Suffolk (1992)

The Hoxne (pronounced 'Hoxon') hoard is the richest find of treasure from Roman Britain. Alongside the approximately 15,000 coins were many other precious objects, buried for safety at a time when Britain was passing out of Roman control. They include by far the largest collection of spoons in any late Roman hoard."
