Cave coins found after 2,000 years

A precious hoard of Roman and Late Iron Age coins has been discovered in a cave where it has lain undisturbed for more than 2,000 years. The treasure trove was initially unearthed by a member of the public, who stumbled across four coins in the cave in Dovedale, Derbyshire. The discovery prompted a full-scale excavation of the site. Experts say it is the first time coins from these two separate civilisations have been buried together.
