IL is difficult to connect the burial Of this
considerable sum of money with any par
ticular event in the history of the bar
barrie inroads which marked the end OF

ever. that the gold was thrown into the
cesspoo' under the apprehension of an i'm
pending pillage. The House Of the Yes
ta;s, abandoned by the sisterhood since its
suppression In 1893, was probably falling
into ruins, and the owner of the gold Sc
lected the hiding place so skilfully that not
only did 1t escape being plundered by the
tarbarians. but the owner himself could
not recover II after the danger was over.
Perhaps he LOST his life in the defense of
the city; perhaps he was carried away into
slavery; perhaps this wing of the cloIsters
fell to the ground, and the hiding pace
remained buried under a heavy mass of
debris.
Discoveries of this kind are by no means
rare occurrence in Rome. Six thousand
four hundred brass coins were found in

Platornus, IN the Trastevere; and almost
as many In 1876 in another sewer near the
