Summary

Description
English: Antoninian Treasure of Valsadornín. This treasure composed of about 45 kilos of coins was found half-buried in a cut of a road in the Palencian village of Valsadornín inside a bronze cauldron. The total weight could have reached 50 kilos, but some of the coins were plundered in the moments immediately after their discovery. Some coins were distributed among relevant people in the area of Cervera de Pisuerga and the capital of Palencia. This is one of the greatest treasures of the Iberian Peninsula along with that of Tomares. A study has been made from 2421 restored coins, representing 14% of the total treasure with a total weight of 6.2kgs. The data from this study determine that all the pieces are Antoninians minted in the middle of the 3rd century (between 252 and 269) and a large number of these Antoninians are dated to the second stage of Galieno's coinage (from 266).
