>In 1993, the Treasure Valuation Committee valued the hoard at £1.75 million (about £3.79 million in 2021).

Reminder that a Roman likely experienced almost no inflation in their lifetime until the Empire started falling apart. Their bread cost the same when they were born and died. Someone living in 1993, experienced their money losing value 2.16X in 28 years. Is this nuts to anyone else?
