From today's Guardian:The largest single hoard of Roman coins ever found in Britain has been unearthed on a farm near Frome in Somerset.
A total of 52,500 bronze and silver coins dating from the 3rd century AD – including the largest ever found set of coins minted by the self proclaimed emperor Carausius, who lasted seven years before he was murdered by his finance minister – were found by Dave Crisp, a hobby metal detectorist from Devizes, Wiltshire.
. . . Does anyone know which farm?

Did the finance minister murder Emperor Carausius because he was cross with him for minting his own coins - thus causing inflation in the Roman Empire? Discuss - no more than 3000 words.
