Berthouville Treasure

The Berthouville treasure is a hoard of Roman silver uncovered by ploughing in March 1830〔The 21 March, by Prosper Taurin, according to Auguste Le Prévost, who had been born nearby at Bernay (Prévost, ''Mémoire sur la collection de vases antiques trouvée en 1830 à Berthouville (arr. de Bernay)'', Caen, 1832:6); (Archives relative to the acquisition of the Berthouville Treasure, B.N. 8 AMC 35 (1830) ).〕 at the hamlet of Villeret〔Date and location as noted in ''Mémoires de la Société nationale des antiquaires de France'' 6th series, vol. 8 (1897:228-32), reporting M. Join-Lambert's excavations of two temples, a theatre and wells near the site in 1896.〕 in the commune of Berthouville in the Eure ''département'' of Normandy, northern France. Purchased at the time of discovery for a modest 15,000 francs, the treasure is conserved in the Cabinet des Médailles at the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris.〔Ernest Babelon (director of the département des monnaies, médailles et antiques, BN), ''Le trésor d'argenterie de Bertouville près de Bernay (Eure) conservé au Département de médailles et antiques de la Bibliothèque national'', Paris 1916; Ruth E. Leader-Newby, ''Silver and Society in Late Antiquity: Functions and Meanings of Silver Plate'' (Ashgate) 2004; D.E. Strong, ''Greek and Roman Gold and Silver Plate'' (London 1968)〕
==Discovery==

The Berthouville hoard was discovered when a ploughshare struck a Roman tile. Once dislodged, the tile uncovered the hastily buried temple treasure〔On Roman temple treasures in general, see A. Henwood Griffiths, ''Temple Treasures: A Study Based on the Works of Cicero and the Fasti of Ovid'' (Philadelphia 1943).〕 a mere 20 cm beneath the modern surface.
The treasure belonged to a sanctuary of Mercury Canetonensis. In the mid 1st century BCE, Julius Caesar had identified Mercury as one of the main deities of Gaul.〔Caesar, ''Commentaries on the Gallic War'' vi. §17.〕 In his Gallo-Roman form Mercury is frequently found with a Gaulish epithet.
