這枚硬幣由銀製成，是由金屬探測器保羅·卡普韋爾在劍橋郡的一塊田地裡發現的。這枚硬幣的生產日期為公元 107 年，一側為羅馬皇帝圖拉真頭像，另一側為勝利女神像。

A silver coin issued by a Roman Emperor almost 2,000 years ago has been found in a Cambridgeshire field by a metal detectorist.

一名金屬探測器在劍橋郡的田野中發現了一枚近 2000 年前羅馬皇帝發行的銀幣。

Paul Capewell, 53, from March, was scanning a field near Chatteris when he came across the denarius coin, which was issued by Emperor Trajan in 107 AD.

今年3 月，53 歲的保羅·卡普韋爾(Paul Capewell) 在巡視查特里(Chatteris) 附近的一片田地時，發現了圖拉真皇帝(Emperor Trajan) 於公元107 年發行的第納爾硬幣。

The coin, which is made of silver and copper, features the head of Trajan on one side and a depiction of the goddess Fortuna on the other.

這枚硬幣由銀和銅製成，一側是圖拉真頭像，另一側是女神福爾圖娜的頭像。

It was found at a depth of around 10 inches in the field, which has been ploughed several times over the years.

它是在田裡約10吋深的地方發現的，多年來，這片田地已經犁過好幾次了。

Mr Capewell, who has been metal detecting for around 30 years, said he was "over the moon" to find the coin.

從事金屬探測工作約 30 年的卡普韋爾先生表示，他「欣喜若狂」地找到了這枚硬幣。

"I was scanning the field when I got a signal and dug down around 10 inches and there it was," he said.

「當我收到信號時，我正在掃描田地，然後挖了大約 10 英寸，結果就在那裡，」他說。

"I knew straight away that it was a Roman coin and I was over the moon.

「我立刻就知道這是一枚羅馬硬幣，我欣喜若狂。

"I've found quite a few Roman coins over the years, but this one is particularly special because it's so well preserved.

「這些年來我發現了很多羅馬硬幣，但這一枚特別特別，因為它保存得很好。

"You can clearly see the head of Trajan on one side and the goddess Fortuna on the other."

“你可以清楚地看到一側是圖拉真的頭像，另一側是福爾圖娜女神。”

Mr Capewell said he believes the coin was probably dropped by a Roman soldier who was marching through the area.

卡普韋爾先生表示，他認為這枚硬幣可能是一名行軍穿過該地區的羅馬士兵掉落的。

"The Romans had a camp at nearby March and their soldiers would often be out on manoeuvres," he said.

「羅馬人在馬奇附近設有一個營地，他們的士兵經常外出演習，」他說。

"It's possible that one of them dropped this coin while they were marching through the field."

“有可能其中一個人在田野裡行進時掉下了這枚硬幣。”

The coin has been valued at around £200 and Mr Capewell plans to sell it to a local collector.

這枚硬幣的價值約為 200 英鎊，卡普韋爾先生計劃將其出售給當地收藏家。
