This hoard won't be sold on Crust Romans, I really wish I had bought more when they had so much inventory.

It's probably a translation thing. English probably got the word Jar from French but uses it in a slightly different way.

How could a comment section about some coins found in a pot turn into comment cancer?

Oh. I see. It turns out our calendar system is "woke", "patriot Christians" are an "oppressed minority" and archeology is "theft from hard-working private landowners".

First comment with the (probably from the US) dude confidently being wrong about french law regarding archeological finds is pretty entertaining.

Also the one throwing a fit about "CE" vs "AD" notation for years is pretty great
