Third-century hoards are huge because the coinage collapsed: the antoninianus fell from roughly half silver under Caracalla to silver-washed copper by the 260s. Frome, 52,503 coins, showed the other half - the pot was too big to lift once full, so it went in the ground empty and was filled there.

Radiate crown Roman coins—most notably the antoninianus (introduced by Caracalla in AD 215)—feature an emperor wearing a distinctive, spiky sun crown. This headpiece symbolized divine authority, immortality, and a direct association with the sun god (Sol Invictus).
