ancient Roman Coin Owlscrying brought this interesting info:
Lisbon Portugal — Archaeologists excavating a site in northeastern Portugal discovered 4,500 ancient Roman coins tucked away inside a wall. The bundle of 4,526 copper and bronze coins was hidden inside the wall of a 4th-century blacksmith’s home, The sack holding the coins appeared to have disintegrated. Archaeologists excavating the site — believed to be an ancient Roman village — came across the coins Friday. In addition to the blacksmith’s home, the excavation site includes a spa and a large house with heated rooms and colorful mosaics. The dig is expected to last several years.
This is a collection I’d love to have, sure it is not for private ownership but being in the habit of collecting old coins for years I would really love to see them when the digging is over!
