Silver and pirates at Pantelleria?

BIBLE HISTORY DAILY: Pirates and Silver Denarii. Roman coin hoard uncovered on Pantelleria island (Nathan Steinmeyer).

The excavators think the treasure was hidden from pirates. I'm sure we should go with their interpretation. But I still think it's fun to imagine that the pirates hid it there.

In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Aaarr!
