Rauceby Hoard
A hoard of early 4th Century Roman coins is believed to be the largest of its type ever discovered in Britain.
More than 3,000 copper alloy coins were found by two metal detectorists ( Rob Jones and Craig Paul) near the village of Rauceby, Lincolnshire, in July 2017.
Archaeologists say the coins were possibly buried as part of a ceremony, or commemoration.[4]
