They describe the first Roman emperor Octavian Augustus and his adopted sons Gaius and Lucius, whom he wanted to make heirs.
A cache of gold coins from the Roman Empire was found on a farm in Britain. Live Science writes about it.
So far, seekers have found 11 coins, and experts hope more coins will be found in the future. The first coin was discovered in 2017. Local numismatists called the search “The Brods Treasure” after the name of a nearby network of rivers and lakes.
It is noted that there are two types of gold coins in the cache: one type is marked with the image of Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of Rome, with Gaius and Lucius, his sons and heir to the throne, on the back of the coin. Another type of coin showed Augustus in profile on one side, and Gaius riding a horse on the other side.
The coins are made of high quality gold. However, each of them has a small indentation on the upper part, indicating that they have been checked for authenticity.
In addition, over the years, metal detectors have found a wealth of Roman objects, including 100 bronze coins, two silver coins, as well as jewelry and much more.
