Roman silver ingots and fragmentary hack-silver discovered at Balline, in County Limerick, Ireland. 🇮🇪 The metal dates to the late 4th century and parallels have been found in Kent, England. At the Roman fort of Richborough, an ingot has also been found stamped with the seal of a Roman official named Isatis, and one of the Balline ingots bears that same name.

There are theories as to how this Roman silver ended up at such a remote location along the Shannon estuary of Ireland. One is that the silver was brought back by Irishmen who’d been serving as auxiliaries in the Roman military. Another is that it might represent bribes or payments of tribute to purchase alliances or peace with Irish tribal groups. At that time, Irish raiders had begun to pose a threat to Roman interests in Britain, and possibly even in Gaul.

Funny how Tallaght is saturated with Africans but 'the racists' selected his home to target repeatedly.

The media will lap up any old bollocks once you say the magic word, and he knows it.
