The largest Roman gold hoard ever discovered was the “Trier Gold Hoard.” The discovery, which included 2,500 gold pieces totaling 18.5 kg, was uncovered in 1993 during excavation work, approximately 1,800 years after it was hidden.
The oldest coins were struck on Emperor Nero in the years 63/64 AD, the youngest under Septimius Severus between 193 and 196.
The 1993 discovery of the Trier Gold Hoard generated a lot of media attention. Further investigation indicated that it was likely an official treasury and not just someone’s personal money. The treasury had been managed with care, and it had expanded over time. The Hoard was equivalent to about 130 Roman soldiers’ yearly pay. There are a total of 27 emperors, empresses, and members of the imperial family shown on the aurei (gold coins), some of which are still regarded as being unique today.
The earliest coins in the hoard were minted 63 AD. What caused the coins to be buried?
During a civil war in 196 AD, the gold coins were interred in a cellar. When Clodius Albinus named his son Caracalla as the heir apparent rather than Albinus, Septimius Severus’ rule was overthrown. It’s likely that the former hoard manager carried the knowledge of the hidden cache with him to the afterlife.
The hoard was hidden for the first time in 167 AD, probably because of the Antonine Plague. – Viewing methods for coins
Currently, the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier’s coin collection features this one-of-a-kind collection on display. One of Germany’s largest archaeological museums, the state museum has an exhibition that features 12,000 coins in total. The Gold Hoard presentation room offers significant information on the development of the monetary system and how ancient, medieval, and modern money have been produced in addition to archaeological discoveries.

In the late 1900s, the British worked to build a railroad from Uganda to the Indian Ocean at Kilindini Harbour in Kenya. In March of 1898, a crew was working on constructing a railroad bridge over the Tsavo River in Kenya.
The bridge was to span eight miles (13km), and several camps of workers were spread across the area. Two days before the project’s leader, Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson, arrived in Tsavo, workers began disappearing.
Over nine months, two apex predators stalked, dragged, and ate construction workers at night while asleep. This is the story of the Tsavo Maneaters, and how humans are not at always the top of the food chain as we like to believe.
The Terror of Tsavo
The Tsavo Maneaters were a pair of man-eating, mane-less lions who terrorized the crew building the bridge over the Tsavo River in Kenya. While most male lions are seen with manes, not all males will have them.
This might be due to polymorphism, which in biology is the occurrence of two or more visibly different forms of phenotypes in a population of a species of animals. Unlike most lions in Africa, “Tsavo male lions generally do not have a mane, though coloration and thickness will vary. There are several hypotheses as to why this occurs.”

One idea is that mane development is closely related to climate as manes can help reduce heat loss at night, but during the scorching days in the desert, it can lead to dehydration and excessive panting. Another reason the Tsavo lions lack manes might be an adaptation to the thick, thorny vegetation in the Tsavo region, which would interfere with a lion’s hunting abilities.
Once Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson arrived at the building site, he and his crew went to bed at night, fearing they would be taken as prey before the sun would rise the next day. At one point, the attacks seemed to stop; however, this was not the case.

The Tsavo Maneaters simply moved to other camps and ate workers there. The Maneaters returned to the main camp, and their attacks became more intense and frequent. Men were being killed and devoured daily, and the crews tried to keep the pair of lions away however they could.
The workers would build large fires, hoping the smoke and flames would keep the lions out, but when this failed to stop the Tsavo Maneaters, they tried another method. The men built thorn fences known as bomas from the branches of the whistling thorn trees that surrounded their camp. This also failed to slow down the Maneaters; the lions would jump over or crawl under the thorny fences to feed.
Most of what we know about the Tsavo Maneaters came from letters from workers and John Henry Patterson’s semi-biography The Man-Eaters of Tsavo. According to Patterson’s writings, at first, only one lion would enter the camps and snatch a victim, but as time passed, both lions became bold enough and would enter the camps to feast together.
As the Tsavo Maneaters ate more and more men, hundreds of workers fled the area, which caused the construction of the bridge to be put on hold. By this point, “colonial officials began to intervene” to get construction back on track. Patterson alleged that the District Officer, Mr. Whitehead, almost fell victim to the Maneaters shortly after reaching the Tsavo train depot in the evening. Sadly, Mr. Whitehead’s assistant, known only as Abdullah, was killed while Whitehead himself barely escaped, with significant claw scratches along his back.
The Hunt
The Tsavo Maneaters kept eating workers, and officials decided that the beasts should be hunted to protect the builders and get the construction back on track. Patterson was said to have set several traps and tried to surprise the Tsavo Maneaters by attacking them from a tree at night.
After countless failed efforts to kill the Tsavo Maneaters, Patterson was finally victorious and shot the first lion on December 9, 1898. The first Maneater was a perfect example of how large the Tsavo lions can be.
This lion was huge, measuring 9 ft 8 in (2.95m) from the tip of its nose to its tail. Eight men were needed to return the lion’s remains to the camp. According to Patterson’s book, the first Tsavo Maneater had been shot in the back leg earlier that day but escaped. Upon the lion’s return to the camp that evening, he was shot “through the shoulder, penetrating its heart.”
The second Tsavo Maneater was taken down with nine shots over several days. The first shot came from Patterson, who was perched on a scaffold he built near a goat also killed by the lion. Eleven days after the first shot, the lion was shot two more times but escaped.
The following day, Patterson shot the lion three times, which severely injured the beast but didn’t end its life. Patterson then shot it another three times, which finally killed the last Tsavo Maneater.

Beware the Beast! Is there a Beast of Bodmin Moor?
The exact number of victims of the Tsavo Maneaters is questionable. Some sources claim that 35 people lost their lives, while others place the death count at 135 people.
Patterson gave different numbers of victims each time he spoke about it, which further puts some of his claims in his biography into question as well. All we can really confirm is that a pair of mane-less Tsavo lions killed and ate more than ten men who were working on the bridge construction over the Tsavo River.
What Triggered Man-Eating Behavior?
When it comes to human deaths caused by animals, lion attacks resulting in death are relatively low, averaging around 100 deaths per year. This may sound like a lot, but hippos kill about 500 humans per year, Ascaris roundworms kill about 2,700 people, with mosquitos taking the lead with around 830,000 fatalities a year due to transmission of illnesses like malaria, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever, and dengue fever.

Unprovoked lion attacks where humans are eaten are relatively rare. Several scientists have studied man-eating behavior in lions and have suggested some of the following theories.
One theory was that it was due to an epizootic cattle plague (rinderpest) outbreak in Africa in 1989. The plague impacted the lion’s usual prey source, possibly forcing them to turn to humans as an alternative food source.
Another theory for why the Tsavo Maneaters ate men might have been due to the lions growing used to finding dead humans in the Tsavo River. Back at the time of the attacks, East African slave trading ships coming from Zanzibar had to cross the river, and the bodies of dead enslaved people would be discarded in the lion’s territory.
An often contested theory was that one of the lions had a damaged tooth that would hinder its ability to kill prey like usual. Patterson claimed he damaged the lion’s tooth with his gun; however, in 2017, Dr. Bruce Patterson (no relation to Colonel Patterson) found one of the lions had an infection in the base of its canine tooth, which would have made it hard for it to hunt. If you want to see the skulls of the Tsavo Maneaters, they were purchased by the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago in 1924 and remain there to this day.

Just after Christmas in 1956, two sisters, Barbara and Patricia Grimes decided to go to a movie theater and see an Elvis Presley film. They never returned to their home located on 3634 South Damen Avenue. After almost a month of searching in one of Chicago’s largest missing person’s investigation, their nude bodies were discovered in a rural ravine. The double murder of the Grimes Sisters remains unsolved.
(L) Barbara Grimes, 15 and (R) Patricia Grimes 13 in 1956.
Watch a Movie at Brighton Theater
On December 28, 1956, 15-year-old Barbara Grimes and her 13-year-old sister Patricia went to the nearby Brighton movie theater to see the Elvis Presley movie Love Me Tender. Several reliable sightings at the theater determined the two did arrive safely at the cinema. A friend sat behind them during the film, and this same friend later spotted them in line to purchase snacks at 9:30 PM.
The Brighton Theater, located at Archer and 42nd, Chicago, as it appeared in 1956.
The two sisters apparently stayed for the second show of a double-feature. Then they vanished.
When they did not arrive home by midnight, their mother, Loretta Grimes, became worried. She sent out two of her other children to the bus stop closest to the house to wait for the two girls. Several buses passed by, but the sisters were not on them. At a little after 2:00 AM on the morning of December 29, their mother called the police. Within a week Law enforcement authorities determined it was unlikely the two girls ran away on their own.
Police Investigation
In the subsequent days, police officers fanned out across the Chicago areas. They found people who eagerly reported having seen the two girls. It became a headache for the police to keep up with all of the alleged sightings:
Several people claimed they witnessed two young girls matching a description of the Grimes sisters get on a bus heading east into the heart of Chicago. However, nobody saw these two girls get off the bus at any stop on the route.
Similarly, a train conductor claimed to have seen them on a train near the Chicago suburb of Glenview.
A night security guard claimed he was asked for directions by two young girls the night of their disappearance.
On the evening of the 29th, a fellow student of Patricia reportedly saw her walking past a restaurant in the company of two other girls — neither of which was Barbara.
A restaurant worker reported a sighting early on the morning of the 30th. He said they were in the company of a man at this point, and that one of the girls acted sickly or drunk and needed assistance when walking.
A hotel clerk stated the girls briefly stayed at his hotel. A clerk at another hotel claimed he refused them a room due to their young age.
Several days later, employees of a department store reported seeing the Grimes sisters in their store, listening to Elvis Presley records.
Most mysteriously, roughly two weeks after the girls’ disappearance, a classmate of Patricia’s received two puzzling phone calls near midnight. During the first call, the party on the other line was silent. During the next call, a voice the mother was sure was Patricia’s said: “Is that you, Sandra? Is Sandra there?” The caller then hung up.
Discovery of the Bodies
The fate of the sisters become known before the month was up. On January 22, 1957, Leonard Prescott, a day laborer found, the bodies of Barbara and Patricia Grimes in a ravine off German Church Rd and County Line Rd in Willow Springs. They appeared to have been dumped or thrown there by someone in a passing car.

The search for the killers became complicated when the autopsy pathologists and the chief investigator of the county coroner’s office could not agree on a time of death. Similarly, an apparent cause of death remained uncertain due to the puzzling wounds on the bodies.
Suspects in the Murder of Grimes Sisters
The police conducted a massive search for possible culprits and finally focused on three likely suspects:
Edward “Bennie” Bedwell, a homeless man from Tennessee. He initially admitted to the murder of the Grimes sisters. He later recanted, saying the police forced him to issue a false confession.
Max Fleig, a young man in his teens, admitted to the murders in a polygraph test. Unfortunately, Illinois law considered it illegal to polygraph a juvenile. The police released him. Fleig later murdered a young woman and went to prison.
Walter Kranz, a man in his early 50s who considered himself a psychic. Before the discovery of the bodies, Kranz called the police stating he dreamed of their location. The location he disclosed proved to be remarkably accurate. Police grilled the man but were unable to come up with enough evidence to proceed.
Despite a lengthy investigation, the crime remains unsolved. The police interviewed approximately 300,000 individuals with no credible suspects identified.
Ray Johnson Investigation
Retired West Chicago Police Officer Ray Johnson became interested in the case in 2010 and began his own unofficial investigation. He believes the cold case is solvable. According to Johnson, Charles Leroy Melquist murdered 15-year-old Bonnie Leigh Scott in 1958. Johnson noted the similarities in the murders, but police never questioned Melquist about Barbara and Patricia Grimes. Ray Johnson thinks public assistance can help crack the case and made this video linked below.
