A precious hoard of Roman and Late Iron Age coins
has been discovered in a cave where it has lain undisturbed for more than 2,000
years. The treasure trove was initially unearthed by a member of the public,
who stumbled across four coins in the cave in Dovedale, Derbyshire. The
discovery prompted a full-scale excavation of the site. Experts say it is the
first time coins from these two separate civilisations have been buried
together. BBC; July 7
The last
solar eclipse of April 29,2014 took place conjunct stars Schedar, alpha Cassiopeia, in the
constellation of Cassiopei, the gold bedecked Queen, Azha, eta Eridani in Eridanus, the celestial
river and Hamal, alpha Aries, the Ram’s head [1]. The Ram’s head is regardant (looking back) and Eridanus is the river of time,
therefore there are issues here connected with history and archaeology[2].
The Roman
astrologer Manilius writing about Cassiopeia [3] said:
What products would a grand lady like Cassiope
prefer her sons to handle rather than those she could turn to her own
employments? And that material for such employment should not be lacking, she
bids men look for gold beneath the ground, uproot all which nature stealthily
conceals, and turn earth upside down in search of gain; she bids them detect
the treasure in lumps of ore and finally, for all its reluctance, expose it to
a sky it has never seen. [Manilius, Astronomica, book 5, 1st century AD,
p.343.]
The eclipse
was very significant for Dovedale since it was square the meridian axis. Progressing
the eclipse chart to July 7, brings the progressed horizon axis to a square
with the luminaries. The Grand Cross of Uranus-Pluto-Mars-Jupiter has just
crossed the progressed meridian axis. Uranus-Pluto is linked to scientific
breakthroughs.
Putting the
foregoing pieces together, it is not too difficult to see why we have in the
news an archaeological find of gold and silver coins.
