Hallaton Treasure, Archaeological discovery in Hallaton, United Kingdom
The Hallaton Treasure contains over 5,000 silver and gold coins, a silver-gilt Roman parade helmet, and numerous artifacts from the Iron Age period.
Ken Wallace and the Hallaton Fieldwork Group uncovered this substantial collection in 2000, which includes the oldest Roman coin found in Britain from 211 BC.
The treasure site functioned as an open-air shrine for the Corieltauvi tribe, featuring ritual deposits and a sacrificial dog guarding the valuable objects.
Visitors can examine the complete collection, including the restored Roman Hallaton Helmet, at the Harborough Museum in Market Harborough, Leicestershire.
The discovery contains 4,835 Corieltauvian coins, effectively doubling the total number of previously recorded coins from this Celtic tribe.
