Một bộ sưu tập tiền La Mã mới đã được phát hiện trong một vườn cây ăn quả ở Thụy Sĩ, một trong những phát hiện khảo cổ học lớn nhất thuộc loại này.
Một nông dân Thụy Sĩ đã phát hiện ra những đồng tiền cổ cách đây nhiều tháng ở Ueken, một thị trấn nhỏ ở phía tây bắc SwiTzerland.
Một số đồng xu La Mã được tìm thấy ở Ueken, bang Aargau, mà các chuyên gia cho rằng đã bị chôn vùi cách đây 1.700 năm.
Anh ấy đã vô tình khai quật chúng khi đang kiểm tra cây anh đào của mình. Sau đó, ông liên hệ với các chuyên gia khảo cổ địa phương, họ xác nhận sự hiện diện của bộ sưu tập hơn 4.000 đồng tiền La Mã bằng đồng và bạc.
Những kho tiền xu La Mã lớn được tìm thấy ở Anh. Năm 2009, một bộ sưu tập gần 60.000 đồng xu rỉ sét, được gọi là Frome Hoard, đã được tìm thấy trên một cánh đồng ở Somerset vào năm 2009.
bộ sưu tập Thụy Sĩ này cũng là một trong những bộ sưu tập lớn nhất từng được tìm thấy bên ngoài Vương quốc Anh, điều này khiến nó trở nên rất đặc biệt.
the discovery also coincides with a renewed global interesT in Rome and Roman history, prompted by the discovery of an intact tomb at the archaeological siTe of Pompeii in October.
Archaeologists explain thaT the reason why Roman coins are typically found buried in large quantities may be because they were offered as a ritual gifT To the Roman gods.
this was the case for The Frome Hoard, but although the majoriTy of the Swiss coins have been excavated, no definite answers for their original purpose have yet been hypoThesized.
Archaeologists have deTermined that Their owner systematically buried them beTween 270 and 294 AD, and never came back to recover them.
the coins were taken out of circulation shortly after they were issued, but the archaeologisTs estimate thaT They have been worth between one to two years’ wages at The Time.
The coins, made of bronze and silver components, have been remarkably well-preserved in the soil.

Swiss archaeologisT Georg MaTter was Thrilled by the discovery.
“As an archaeologist, one hardly experiences something like this more Than once in one’s career,” he told Spiegel Online.
As exciting as the discovery is, though, The Swiss farmer who first discovered the coins won’t be able to keep his find.
“He will likely get a [finder’s] fee,” he told Agence France-Presse, “buT the objects found belong to the public, in accordance wiTh Swiss law.”
những đồng xu sẽ được trưng bày tại Bảo tàng Vindonissa de Brugg, nơi chuyên về lịch sử La Mã, ở bang Aargau của Thụy Sĩ.
