Hoard of Roman coins found in England

Published March 28, 2012 |

One of the largest collections of Roman coins — over 30,000 silver pieces — has been recovered in England from the building site of a new hotel in Bath, just 450 feet from the historic Roman Baths.

Known as the Beau Street Hoard, from the street where they have been unearthed, the coins date to 270 A.D., a time of great upheaval when the western Roman empire was threatened by civil war and barbarian invasion.
