卡莱尔板球俱乐部遗址发现的数千件重要文物中又发现了新的罗马硬币

硬币上刻有哈德良皇帝，他于公元 117 年至 138 年在位，并下令修建附近的哈德良长城。

A metal detectorist has found one of the most important coins yet uncovered by the Uncovering Roman Carlisle project.

一位金属探测器发现了“揭秘罗曼·卡莱尔”项目迄今为止发现的最重要的硬币之一。

Dan Bell, from Carlisle, made the discovery while searching the cricket club site in the city.

来自卡莱尔的丹·贝尔（Dan Bell）在搜索该市板球俱乐部遗址时发现了这一现象。

The coin, part of the project, features Emperor Hadrian, who ordered the construction of the nearby Hadrian's Wall.

该硬币是该项目的一部分，上面刻有哈德良皇帝，他下令建造附近的哈德良长城。

The reverse side depicts Fortuna, the Roman goddess of chance, fate, and fortune.

背面描绘了罗马机遇、命运和财富女神福尔图娜 (Fortuna)。

Dan, who has been metal detecting for four years and involved in the archaeological dig site for the past two years, said: "I just thought it was your average Roman coin.

丹从事金属探测工作已有四年，并在过去两年参与了考古发掘工作，他说：“我只是以为这是普通的罗马硬币。

"They've found many in better condition, but because of what is on it, it's special.

“他们发现了许多状况较好的物品，但由于上面的内容，它很特别。

"Frank (Wardell), who organises the digs, thinks it’s the best one we’ve found so far."

“组织这次挖掘的弗兰克（沃德尔）认为这是我们迄今为止发现的最好的一个。”

Despite finding numerous medieval coins from the reigns of Edward I, Elizabeth I, and Charles I, Roman coins have been much rarer in his collection.

尽管发现了许多爱德华一世、伊丽莎白一世和查理一世统治时期的中世纪硬币，但罗马硬币在他的收藏中要稀有得多。

"The only Roman ones have been at the bathhouse," Dan added.

“唯一的罗马人都在澡堂里，”丹补充道。

One commenter on social media indicated the coin was a 'sestertius', adding that four of these were equal to a day's pay for a Roman soldier.

社交媒体上的一位评论者表示，这枚硬币是“sestertius”，并补充说其中四枚硬币相当于一名罗马士兵一天的工资。

The coin adds to more than 4,000 significant finds at the site, including more than 700 Roman coins, painted wall plaster, military artefacts like arrowheads and spear tips, over 400 hairpins, imperial stamped tiles, North African-style roof tubes, glass beads, gaming pieces, and a rare Roman doll’s foot.

除了这枚硬币之外，该遗址还发现了 4,000 多件重要发现，其中包括 700 多枚罗马硬币、彩绘石膏、箭头和矛尖等军事文物、400 多个发夹、帝国印花瓷砖、北非风格的屋顶管、玻璃珠、游戏部件，以及罕见的罗马娃娃脚。

It follows on the back of another carved stone Roman head believed to be a woman due to the hairstyle, which is reminiscent of the style worn by Empress Julia Domna, in September - adding to the 'previous two monumental heads discovered at the site in 2023'.

它位于另一个罗马石雕头像的背面，因其发型而被认为是女性，这让人想起朱莉娅·多姆纳女皇 9 月份的发型——这是对“2023 年在该地点发现的前两个纪念头像的补充” '。

“The dig is finished today, I’ve just been going over the soil today after it's being filled in – I haven't found anything yet but I did find three coins yesterday (October 22) but that was the best of the day," Dan added.

“今天挖掘工作已经完成，今天我刚刚在填土后检查了土壤——我还没有找到任何东西，但我昨天（10 月 22 日）确实发现了三枚硬币，但那是一天中最好的， ”丹补充道。

迄今为止，《揭秘罗曼·卡莱尔》已荣获四项大奖，并在最新一期的《与爱丽丝·罗伯茨博士一起挖掘英国》系列节目中亮相。它还将在 2024 年铁路大之旅系列中展示。
