Cave coins found after 2,000 years

A precious hoard of Roman and Late Iron Age coins has been discovered in a cave.


The coins have been undisturbed there for more than 2,000 years.
The first four coins were found by a member of the public in the cave in Dovedale, Derbyshire.
The discovery prompted a full-scale excavation of the site, where archaeologists found 26 coins.
Experts say it is the first time coins from these two separate civilisations have been buried together.
