guy Posted Tuesday at 02:19 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:19 PM (edited) We have already discussed this coin hoard found in the Netherlands (see the thread below). Now known as the Bunnik hoard, the silver coins in the hoard spanned 200 BCE to AD 42. Below is an article describing the hoard. The aurei featured coins from the reigns of Augustus, Tiberius, and Claudius (see photo above). Below is an aureus issued during Claudius's reign: The hoard also included these Celtic staters minted in Britain from around AD 5 to AD 43: Below is a remarkable coin of King Juba I, who ruled Numidia in northern Africa (present-day Algeria) from 60 to 40 BCE, found in a hoard. The coin may have been preserved either as a souvenir or for its intrinsic silver value. https://the-past.com/feature/spoils-of-war-an-extraordinary-roman-hoard-from-utrecht/ Edited Tuesday at 04:43 PM by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
