They will be on permanent exhibit at the Rijksmuseum van Oudhaden (The Dutch National Museum of Antiquities) in Leiden, Netherlands. This collection illustrates the complex relationship between Rome and the indigenous populations of Britain.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ancientpages.com/2025/01/27/unique-hoard-of-roman-british-coins-found-near-utrecht-the-netherlands/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ancientpages.com/2025/01/27/unique-hoard-of-roman-british-coins-found-near-utrecht-the-netherlands/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ancientpages.com/2025/01/27/unique-hoard-of-roman-british-coins-found-near-utrecht-the-netherlands/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/over-400-gold-and-silver-roman-era-coins-unearthed-in-the-netherlands-depict-rulers-from-rome-britain-and-africa" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/over-400-gold-and-silver-roman-era-coins-unearthed-in-the-netherlands-depict-rulers-from-rome-britain-and-africa" rel="nofollow">https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/over-400-gold-and-silver-roman-era-coins-unearthed-in-the-netherlands-depict-rulers-from-rome-britain-and-africa</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://popular-archaeology.com/article/major-hoard-of-roman-british-coins-found-near-utrecht-the-netherlands/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://popular-archaeology.com/article/major-hoard-of-roman-british-coins-found-near-utrecht-the-netherlands/" rel="nofollow">https://popular-archaeology.com/article/major-hoard-of-roman-british-coins-found-near-utrecht-the-netherlands/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
