During construction work in Worcestershire, England, a treasure
trove of Gold and silver Roman coins from the reign of Emperor Nero
was discovered, Azernews reports.
This discovery is the largest collection of Roman coins ever
found since the reign of Nero.
According to Worcestershire Heritage, Art, and Museums, the
treasure was unearthed in late 2023 in the area of Lee and
Bransford, located west of Worcestershire. The treasure is
estimated to be worth over 100,000 pounds.
Experts consider this find to be one of the most significant
archaeological discoveries in the region in the past 100 years. The
majority of the coins are silver, minted in Rome, and date from the
Roman Empire period, ranging from 157 BC to the reign of Nero
(54–68 AD).
This discovery sheds light on the wealth and influence of Roman
Britain, offering new insights into the economy and culture of the
Roman Empire in the province. The treasure is expected to provide
valuable information about trade routes, the circulation of Roman
currency, and the impact of the Roman Empire on Britain during that
time. The find also highlights the importance of continuing
archaeological work in the region, as such treasures offer a rare
glimpse into ancient history.
