Hildesheim Treasure, Silver artifact collection in Hildesheim, Germany.

The Hildesheim Treasure contains seventy solid silver vessels, including plates, goblets, trays, and a three-legged table from Roman times.

Prussian soldiers discovered the silver collection on October 17, 1868, while preparing ground for a shooting range on Galgenberg Hill.

The silver items display Roman metalworking techniques through detailed reliefs, including the Minerva Bowl featuring the goddess seated on a throne.

The collection resides in the Antikensammlung Berlin at the Altes Museum, where visitors can examine silver pieces from the 1st century AD.

This silver collection represents the largest discovered Roman silver treasure found beyond the imperial borders of the ancient Roman Empire.
