Abstract
In the course of building operations near Capalbio in the summer of 1949 a small hoard of Roman Republican silver was found by one of the workmen. The exact find-spot is not known, but it seems to have been close to the Via Aurelia, where this passes Lago San Floriano. The coins were contained in an earthenware jar, which was destroyed. Doris Taylor Bishop, who was excavating at Cosa at the time, was told of the discovery, prevented the hoard from being dispersed and made a list of its contents. At a later stage, she was able to buy the coins and export them to the United States.
