A hoard of Roman coins has been unearthed in the grounds of a primary school in Reading.
A pot with up to 300 coins was discovered during an archaeological exploration of the site before The Ridgeway School's redevelopment works.
Experts believe the container was buried by a Roman citizen or farmer for safe keeping, possibly during a time of crisis or threat.
Once assessed, there are plans to display the coins at Reading Museum.
