Abstract
Every so often an archaeological discovery comes along that grips the imagination of the public. This fascination with the past has driven a production line of replicas, making ‘ancient’ artefacts available for those that wish to own a piece of history. The replicas of the remarkable Roman silver hoard from Traprain Law are one of the most successful groups of reproductions ever made, spanning from shortly after the hoard’s discovery in 1919 to the present day.
