In the Numismatic Chronicle for 2013, A. Bursche put forward the proposition that the imperial treasury was seized by the Goths when in A.D. 251 they crushed the Roman army at Abritus.1 Most of the plundered Roman gold was presumably in the form of coin (ingots are neither excluded nor confirmed). This gold has now been traced with some confidence to archaeological sites of the Wielbark and the Chernyakhiv cultures, in particular to grave assemblages dated to the second half of the 3rd c. (phase C1b-C2 of the Late Roman period).2 This had even broader consequences, since the capture of an enormous amount of gold by the barbarians could have been the immediate cause of the deterioration of the aureus under Decius‘ successors.3

3世纪中期的哥特式入侵。公元和阿布里图斯之战：巴巴里库姆中东部的硬币和考古

在里面钱币编年史2013 年，A. Bursche 提出了这样的命题，即在公元 251 年哥特人在阿布里图斯镇压罗马军队时，帝国国库被哥特人占领。1大多数被掠夺的罗马黄金大概是硬币的形式（锭既不排除也不确认）。现在，这些黄金已经在一定程度上被追溯到 Wielbark 和 Chernyakhiv 文化的考古遗址，特别是可追溯到公元 3 世纪下半叶的墓葬组合。（罗马晚期的 C1b-C2 阶段）。2这产生了更广泛的后果，因为野蛮人夺取了大量黄金可能是导致帝国衰败的直接原因。金黄色葡萄球菌在德修斯的继任者之下。3
