akdrv Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 A ROMAN coin buried in the depths of Malmesbury's Athelstan Museum has been unearthed. Volunteers auditing the museum's collection discovered the small, corroded piece of metal last week. Unsure of what it was, they sent it to Wiltshire County Council's conservation department, where it was identified as a Roman Denarius coin. http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/mostpopu..._roman_coin.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willieboyd2 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 From the article: But we sent it to the county council's conservation department and they worked on it and found it's a Roman Denarius. "It's quite an uncommon one, because they were unable to say which particular emperor was on it". So how do they know that it is "rare"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
