I chanced upon a new video from History Hit about four second century bronze objects found by two metal detectorists in 2020 near Ampleforth in Yorkshire and which have now gone on display in the Yorkshire Museum in York.
The video discusses them as individual objects and their significance but then seeks to place them in the context of second century Yorkshire and explores four options for their being buried. It also relates the four pieces to other items on display alongside them in the Museum. This does therefore present them as part of the life of Britannia in the period rather than just objects in a display case with no recovered or conjectured history.
The video can be seen at The Mystery Of This Roman Treasure Hoard Found in Britain
