The Worcestershire Conquest Hoard, a collection of 1,368 Roman and Iron Age silver coins, provides a significant glimpse into the early Roman presence in Britain.
Dr. Murray Andrews emphasizes the hoard's historical importance, stating it is one of the largest early Roman hoards ever found in Britain, connecting to the Empire's military expanse.
The coins, primarily silver denarii minted in Rome, date from 157 B.C. to 55 A.D., suggesting that the hoard was buried shortly after Rome’s conquest.
This archaeological find not only showcases the economic activities post-conquest but also sheds light on the cultural exchanges between Romans and Iron Age Britons.
