marcus junius brutus
the hoxne hoard was buried during a period of great upheaval in britain, marked by the collapse of roman authority in the province, the departure of the majority of the roman army, and the first of a wave of attacks by the anglo-saxons. attacks on italy by the visigoths around the turn of the fifth century caused the general stilicho to recall roman army units from rhaetia, gaul, and britannia. while stilicho held off the visigoth attack, the western provinces were left defenceless against suebi, alans, and vandals who crossed the frozen rhine in 406 and overran gaul. the remaining roman troops in britain, fearing that the invaders would cross the channel, elected a series of emperors of their own to lead the defence.
