Shrewsbury Hoard, Bronze Roman coins collection at British Museum, England.
The Shrewsbury Hoard contains 9,315 bronze Roman coins stored in a large pottery jar discovered near Shrewsbury in Shropshire during 2009.
Dating from AD 313 to 335, the coins in this hoard correspond to the later reign of Constantine I and the period of governance by his three sons.
The discovery includes an iron nail and cloth fragments, suggesting the coins were originally contained in a bag as part of a ritualistic offering.
The collection resides in the Roman gallery at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery, allowing visitors to examine these ancient monetary artifacts.
The coins were deposited in layers within the jar over several years, with newer coins from 333-335 AD placed above older specimens from 320 AD.
