这枚硬币由银制成，是由金属探测器保罗·卡普韦尔在剑桥郡的一块田地里发现的。这枚硬币的生产日期为公元 107 年，一侧为罗马皇帝图拉真头像，另一侧为胜利女神像。

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

一名金属探测器在剑桥郡的田野中发现了一枚近 2000 年前罗马皇帝发行的银币。

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 岁的保罗·卡普韦尔 (Paul Capewell) 在巡视查特里 (Chatteris) 附近的一片田地时，发现了图拉真皇帝 (Emperor Trajan) 于公元 107 年发行的第纳尔硬币。

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.

这枚硬币由银和铜制成，一侧是图拉真头像，另一侧是女神福尔图娜的头像。

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

它是在田地里约10英寸深的地方发现的，多年来，这片田地已经犁过好几次了。

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

从事金属探测工作约 30 年的卡普韦尔先生表示，他“欣喜若狂”地找到了这枚硬币。

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

“当我收到信号时，我正在扫描田地，然后挖了大约 10 英寸，结果就在那里，”他说。

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

“我立刻就知道这是一枚罗马硬币，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.

“这些年来我发现了很多罗马硬币，但这一枚特别特别，因为它保存得很好。

"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侧是图拉真的头像，另一侧是福尔图娜女神。”

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

卡普韦尔先生表示，他认为这枚硬币可能是一名行军穿过该地区的罗马士兵掉落的。

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

“罗马人在马奇附近设有一个营地，他们的士兵经常外出演习，”他说。

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

“有可能其中一个人在田野里行进时掉下了这枚硬币。”

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

这枚硬币的价值约为 200 英镑，卡普韦尔先生计划将其出售给当地收藏家。
