Those of you who teach history, classics, art history, archaeology, etc., especially of the ancient world: how much more likely are you to use numismatics in teaching due to digital resource accessibility than you were 10+ years ago? #classicsbluesky

A hoard of over 1900 #Roman silver coins found at Falkirk (Scotland); equivalent to 10+ years pay for an ordinary soldier. The coins range in date from 83BC to AD230, & may have been part of a bribe paid by Rome to a chieftain north of the frontier to secure peace for a while 🏺AncientBlueSky
