A note from BCD: Kraay is very much at home here when he deals with an archaic bullion type hoard in “A Black Sea Hoard of the late Fifth Century BC”. The pick of the Asyut hoard having gone to the British museum, Kraay was only able to secure a final parcel for the Ashmolean of mostly cut coins and fragments. Perhaps it was this acquisition that prompted the Oxford collection curator to undertake the publication of this hoard that had so many common characteristics with his Asyut parcel.
