guy Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) A Roman coin hoard of 209 coins was unearthed by a badger in Northern Spain, apparently in search of food. Quote “When we arrived we found the hole that led to the badger's nest, and the ground around it full of coins," Fanjul told CNN on Monday, adding that more than 90 coins had been dug up by the badger. Quote The team then performed an archaeological excavation that recovered a total of 209 coins dating from 200 AD to 400 AD. This corresponds with the Late Roman period, when barbarians such as the Suebi arrived in the Iberian peninsula. https://www.cnn.com/style/amp/badger-roman-coins-spain-scli-intl-scn/index.html https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/09/hungry-badger-may-have-uncovered-roman-coins-in-spanish-cave Edited January 11, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
