Alaric's Treasure .

Synopsis:
Alaric considered himself as a Scythian . More important , so did his subordinates .
After his death ,. The Federation fell apart . But they still buried him in style with a Scythian tumulus . On the retreat route from Cosenza in southern italy .
The river-bed story was an in-joke . (Cf Gaiseric)

Discussion :
Not as easy as in http://andreswhy.blogspot "Treasure"
The tumulus is still there on your right-hand side about 9 km north of Cosenza .
The treasure is long gone (What did you expect?)
The locals know it .
The only treasure remaining is some of St Peter's relics buried way below the normal tomb . Relics not defined as treasure at the time .

Museum bait .
