In two dig seasons since the hiker’s lucky discovery, archaeologists have found a hundred more Roman coins struck from the 1st century to the 5th century A.D. The earliest is a coin of Tiberius 22-30 A.D.; the newest a coin of eastern emperor Arcadius (r. 395-408 A.D.). The team also unearthed 27 rock crystal stones, 59 Roman shoe hobnails, a fibula from the 1st century B.C. and a fragment of a bronze votive plate shaped like a leaf.
