Roman coins to be unveiled at festival

[PhilD]

A HOARD of Roman coins more than 1,700 years old is set to be unveiled at a York festival.

The Wold Newton Hoard, the largest Roman hoard of its period to be found in the North of England, is returning to the Yorkshire Museum and will be on display at this year’s Eboracum Roman Festival, from June 1 to 4, following extensive conservation.

The hoard dates to 308AD and contains more than 1,800 coins, many of which are extremely rare and hold great national significance............

I don't like the way some museums strip the patina of off the coins .
