The Ropsley Hoard Hadrian 117-138AD Silver Denarius, Hadrian on platform, Rome mint

17mm, 3.39g

This coin is a part of The Ropsley Hoard. Some 522 silver denari found in Lincolnshire just off Ermine Street, a main Roman road connecting London in the south to Lincoln and York in the north. After recording with the British Museum the coins were disclaimed and returned to the finder & landowner who decided to make them available to the private collector. This is a rare opportunity to own a coin from a real life Roman treasure find as most hoards found in Britain are retained for museum collections. From more information click here
