伍斯特郡征服寶藏在伍斯特市美術館和博物館展出

該寶藏包含 1,368 枚金幣和銀幣，生產時間從羅馬共和國時期（約公元前 509-27 年）到尼祿皇帝統治時期（公元 54-68 年）。

One of the largest early Roman coin hoards ever found in Britain will be on temporary display at an art gallery and museum in the county from Saturday (January 11).

英國有史以來發現的最大的早期羅馬錢幣寶庫之一將於週六（1 月 11 日）起在該縣的美術館和博物館臨時展出。

The Worcestershire Conquest Hoard, which contains 1,368 gold and silver coins, will be showcased at Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum until Sunday, March 30.

伍斯特郡征服寶庫包含 1,368 枚金幣和銀幣，將於 3 月 30 日星期日在伍斯特市美術館和博物館展出。

The hoard was discovered by metal detectorists in 2018 and is named after the period of British history in which it was buried - the Roman Conquest.

該寶藏於 2018 年被金屬探測器發現，並以其埋藏的英國歷史時期——羅馬征服時期命名。

Its burial date of circa AD 55 places it right at the beginning of Roman Britain.

它的埋葬日期大約是公元 55 年，正好是羅馬不列顛統治的開始時間。

The coins in the hoard were produced from the time of the Roman Republic (circa 509–27 BC) up to the reign of the emperor Nero (AD 54–68).

寶藏中的硬幣是從羅馬共和國時期（約公元前 509-27 年）到尼祿皇帝統治時期（公元 54-68 年）生產的。

The exhibition will explore the context and significance of the hoard in relation to this tumultuous period.

展覽將探討這些寶藏在這個動盪時期的背景和意義。

Dr Murray Andrews, lecturer in British archaeology at UCL Institute of Archaeology and advisor on the Worcestershire Conquest Hoard, said: "The Conquest Hoard is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in Worcestershire in the last 100 years.

倫敦大學學院考古研究所英國考古學講師、伍斯特郡征服寶藏顧問默里安德魯斯博士表示：「征服寶庫是伍斯特郡過去 100 年來最重要的考古發現之一。

"It provides us with a unique snapshot of the period of Roman Conquest and will help us to understand more about this fascinating time in British history."

“它為我們提供了羅馬征服時期的獨特快照，並將幫助我們更多地了解英國歷史上這段迷人的時期。”

The hoard was declared Treasure Trove in 2019 and a coroner ruled that it should be valued and offered to a museum.

該寶藏於 2019 年被宣佈為寶庫，驗屍官裁定應對其進行估價並捐贈給博物館。

Worcestershire Heritage, Art & Museums charity recently launched a fundraising campaign to save the hoard for the county, to make sure it can be seen and enjoyed by residents for years to come.

伍斯特郡遺產、藝術和博物館慈善機構最近發起了一項籌款活動，為該縣保存這些寶藏，以確保居民在未來幾年能夠看到和享受這些寶藏。

Excitement around the discovery was such that the initial target of £6,000 was met within 48 hours of the campaign going live.

這項發現令人興奮不已，活動開始後 48 小時內就實現了 6,000 英鎊的初始目標。

With the hoard expected to be valued upwards of £100,000, fundraising continues towards both acquisition and permanent display and interpretation.

由於該寶藏的價值預計將超過 100,000 英鎊，籌款活動將繼續用於收購以及永久展示和解釋。

If the money cannot be raised, the hoard will be returned to its finders and/or the landowner, and would be unlikely to ever be seen again on public display.

如果無法籌集資金，這些寶藏將歸還給其發現者和/或土地所有者，並且不太可能再次公開展示。

Deborah Fox, Museums Worcestershire’s senior curator, said: "The Worcestershire Conquest Hoard is an incredible find and plays an important part in understanding more about the county’s heritage.

伍斯特郡博物館高級館長黛博拉福克斯 (Deborah Fox) 表示：「伍斯特郡征服寶庫是一個令人難以置信的發現，對於更多地了解該縣的遺產發揮著重要作用。

"We are really pleased to put it on temporary display and are sure visitors will love to see this incredible piece of Worcestershire’s history which has been buried beneath our feet for 2,000 years."

“我們真的很高興能將它臨時展示，並且相信遊客會喜歡看到伍斯特郡這段令人難以置信的歷史，它已經埋在我們腳下 2000 年了。”
