Another Good Luck Story For Someone,

although found in 2,000 the history of this coin has just come to light, it was uncovered with 5,000 other coins, a helmet and a decorated bowl, by a lucky metal detectorist, staff at the nearby Harborough Museum have only just realised its significance, it is from 211 BC and found near the Leicestershire village of Hallaton, so that makes it 2,221-year-old, it is a a denarius, at that time it would represent soldier or unskilled workers days pay, it is thought that the coin may have arrived in Britain in the purse of an invading Roman soldier after AD 43, but some archaeologists have speculated that Roman Republican coins such as this were finding their way into Britain before the Roman conquest and are evidence of exchange through trade or diplomacy, well however it arrived think how the finder must have felt when he or she dug this one up in the 5,000 they found, I love stories of good fortune like this.
