Some years ago my wife and I were visiting, touring a modern theater, built from Roman stones, on a Phoenician site, with a Crusader tower in the center. This is a neat find, but it’s no surprise people buried things when the next wave of invaders came through. Same thing happened in Europe at the end of the Roman Empire, though those coins are considerably cheaper.
