Tezaur din vremea Imperiului Roman, descoperit cu un detector de metale pe un câmp din Germania

A metal detector search in Germany led to the discovery of an exceptional archaeological treasure: 934 Roman silver coins, some over 2,000 years old. The coins were found near Wesseling, south of Cologne, by an enthusiast who reported the find to authorities after uncovering the first 15 coins. Archaeologists later revealed that this hoard is the largest from Emperor Hadrian's era found in Germany and the fifth largest globally from that period. The coins, hidden in the 2nd century AD, include pieces dating back to 148 BC. The reasons for their burial remain uncertain, but it is speculated that they were hidden for safety. The treasure is now owned by North Rhine-Westphalia and is displayed in a regional museum in Bonn.
