Bredon Hill Hoard, Roman coin collection at Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum, England

The Bredon Hill Hoard contains 3,784 silver Roman coins discovered in 2011 near an Iron Age hill fort in Worcestershire.

Metal detectorists uncovered the coins buried in a clay pot from the middle of the 4th century within the remains of a Roman villa.

The collection includes coins from ten emperors of the central Roman Empire and six emperors of the Gallic Empire, minted between 244 and 282 AD.

Visitors can examine selected coins from the hoard at the Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum, which acquired the collection through public funding.

The excavation revealed three distinct archaeological layers, with the lowest containing stone foundations of a half-timbered villa from the 2nd century.
