    A collection of Roman coins has been unearthed by
    archaeologists excavating a former barracks in Colchester.

    Two pots, one of them containing 1,247 coins, were
    discovered on the site of the former
    Hyderabad and Meeanee barracks,
    which are being redeveloped.

    The coins, known as antoniniani, date back to between
    251 and 271 AD.


    The Hyderabad and Meeanee barracks,
    sounds like a name right out of Kipling and the India Raj.

    :)
