A hoard of 1,368 Iron Age and Roman coins has been discovered on a building site near Worcester.

在伍斯特附近的一处建筑工地上发现了 1,368 枚铁器时代和罗马硬币的宝库。

The coins, which are valued at more than £100,000 (about $126,000), were dug up late last year in the Leigh and Bransford area, west of Worcester.

这些硬币价值超过 100,000 英镑（约合 126,000 美元），是去年底在伍斯特以西的利和布兰斯福德地区挖掘出来的。

Most of the coins are silver denarii, minted in Rome and dating from the time of the Roman Republic in 157 BC up to Nero’s reign between AD 54 and AD 68.

大多数硬币是银币，在罗马铸造，生产时间从公元前 157 年的罗马共和国时期到公元 54 年至公元 68 年尼禄统治时期。

The hoard also includes a single gold coin, which experts have identified as an Iron Age stater, minted for the local British tribe, the Dobunni, who were in Worcestershire in AD 20 to AD 45.

宝藏中还包括一枚金币，专家鉴定为铁器时代的金币，是为公元 20 至 45 年居住在伍斯特郡的当地不列颠部落 Dobunni 铸造的。

It is believed that the coins belonged to a rich farmer who supplied the Roman army with grain and livestock.

人们相信这些硬币属于一位富有的农民，他为罗马军队提供谷物和牲畜。

Dr. Murray Andrews, lecturer in British archaeology at University College London, said: “It’s the most miraculous thing I’ve seen over the last 100 years.

The hoard was declared as treasure in June and is now set to go on display at Worcestershire Heritage, Art & Museums.

The museum is aiming to raise £6,000 ($7,588) so it can acquire the hoard.
