A chance to see – the largest Roman coin hoard ever found in Britain is the Cunetio Hoard – Cunetio was a Roman town that was near Mildenhall in Wiltshire. The hoard consists of 54,951 coins in two containers and was discovered in 1978 by two metal detectorists. The pot that held some of the coins is owned by Wiltshire Museum and the hoard by the British Museum. The two are reunited for the first time in the new Salisbury exhibition, Hoards: A Hidden History of Ancient Britain opens on 13th October..
