[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 25896107, member: 5682"][IMG]https://www.unrv.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2024_12/IMG_5431.jpeg.bf76f554ed54183b740599363301ad10.jpeg[/IMG] A hoard of 1,368 Iron Age and Roman coins was discovered near Worcester last year. Most coins are Roman silver denarii, dating from the Roman Republic in 157 BCE to the latest coin dated to Nero’s reign in AD 55. A coin hoard was discovered in a clay pot northwest of London, near Worcester, approximately 90 miles (144 kilometers) from the Welsh border. Notably, Rome did not complete its conquest of Wales until AD 79 under the command of Agricola.
