A rare gold coin, discovered by a metal detectorist in a farmer's field near Dudley, has sold for £4,700 at auction.

由金属探测者在达德利（Dudley）附近的农民田里发现的一枚稀有金币，在拍卖会上以4,700英镑的价格售出。

The coin, which dates back to 69AD, was found by 76-year-old Ron Walters, from Wall Heath, in May last year.

去年5月，来自沃尔·希思（Wall Heath）的76岁的罗恩·沃尔特斯（Ron Walters）发现了这枚硬币的历史可以追溯到69AD。

It is said to be the first aureus of emperor Aulus Vitellius to ever be recorded as a find in England.

据说这是第一个在英格兰发现的皇帝奥鲁斯·维特里乌斯（Aulus Vitellius）的巨石。

After Ron's discovery, the coin was sent to the British Museum, which disclaimed it. It was then returned to Ron before it went under the hammer at Fieldings Auctioneers in Stourbridge, West Midlands on Thursday.

罗恩（Ron）发现后，硬币被送往大英博物馆，该博物馆否认了它。然后，它于周四在西米德兰兹郡斯托布里奇的菲尔德斯拍卖行的锤子下返回罗恩。

The item sold for £4,700 - an incredible sum which will be split between the landowner and Ron.

该商品以4,700英镑的价格出售 - 一笔不可思议的金额，将在土地所有者和罗恩之间分配。

The coin is a significant find, as Aulus Vitellius was a Roman emperor for eight months, from 19 April to 20 December AD 69 - the last of Nero's three short-lived successors.

硬币是一个重要的发现，因为Aulus Vitellius是罗马皇帝八个月，从4月19日至12月20日公元69年，这是Nero的三位短期继任者的最后一位。

He came to power after the defeat of Emperor Otho in a civil war between rival claimants to the imperial throne.

在帝国王位的竞争对手索赔人之间的内战中，奥索皇帝击败了奥索之后，他上台。

His reign was characterized by indulgence in luxury, feasting, and an excessive lifestyle, which contrasted with the growing instability within the empire.

他的统治的特征是放纵奢侈品，盛宴和过度生活方式，与帝国内日益增长的不稳定形成鲜明对比。

The emperor's aureus coins are typically found in the provinces of Gaul, and this is the first time that one has been discovered in England.

皇帝的金黄色硬币通常在高卢省发现，这是英格兰第一次发现的金币。

The coin is in good condition for its age, with some wear and tear to be expected. It is a valuable addition to any coin collection.

硬币的年龄状况良好，可以预期一些磨损。这是任何硬币集合的宝贵补充。

Speaking after the coin sold at auction, Ron said: "I was told by my wife to bugger off and get out the house for a bit, which I was glad I did.

罗恩在拍卖会上出售的硬币后说：“我的妻子告诉我，我很高兴我很高兴自己做了一会儿。

"I was out for a couple of hours and I picked a signal up. I started digging a bit but then lost the signal.

“我出去了几个小时，然后拿起一个信号。我开始挖掘一些，但随后丢失了信号。

"I managed to get this reading again from a clod of earth about 2ft away from me, I broke it open and then this coin dropped into my hand.

“我设法从距离我约2英尺的地球块中再次获得了读物，我打开了它，然后把硬币掉进了手中。

"My heart was racing, I just popped it in my pocket and went straight back home.

“我的心在赛车，我只是把它弹出在口袋里，直接回到家。

"In metal detecting circles, a Roman coin is probably among the best things you can find."

“在金属探测圈中，罗马硬币可能是您能找到的最好的东西之一。”

When asked how he felt after the coin has fetched almost 5k at auction, Ron added: "I thought it might go for a bit more but it's been amazing to be part of a historic discovery and it's certainly something to tell the grandkids.

当被问到硬币在拍卖会上取得近5k之后的感觉时，罗恩补充说：“我认为这可能会有更多，但是成为一个历史性发现的一部分真是太神奇了，这肯定是告诉孙子孙子的事情。

"I'll keep on searching for more treasures with my metal detector but they did tell me this was a once in a lifetime find, so I doubt I'll find anything like this ever again."

“我将继续用我的金属探测器寻找更多的宝藏，但他们确实告诉我这是一生的发现，所以我怀疑我会再发现这样的东西。”
