Spoerri-Butcher Group 41.

Skarb Banasa, zdeponowany około 18-17 r. n.e., został znaleziony w 1907 r. w pobliżu współczesnego Souk-el Arbaa, 120 km na północny wschód od Rabatu w Maroku. Wcześniej mówiło się, że skarbiec pochodzi z Alkazar (El Ksar El Kebir), 70 km na południe od Tangeru i stąd jest czasami określany jako El Ksar Hoard. Grupa zawierała około 4000 srebrnych monet i jedną brązową. Znaczna liczba monet znajduje się obecnie w kolekcjach publicznych, głównie w Londynie, Paryżu, Berlinie, Atenach, Nowym Jorku i Algierze.

Spoerri-Butcher Group 41.

The Banasa Hoard, deposited in circa AD 18-17 was found in 1907 near modern day Souk-el Arbaa, 120 km northeast of Rabat, Morocco, in 1907. The hoard was previously said to be from Alkazar (El Ksar El Kebir), 70 km south of Tangier and hence is occasionally referred to as the El Ksar Hoard. The group contained approximately 4000 silver coins and one bronze. A substantial number of the coins now reside in public collections, principally in London, Paris, Berlin, Athens, New York and Algiers.
