A hiker on a plateau in the Ammertenhorn Mountains, Switzerland stumbled on a Roman coin in 2020. Further investigation has yielded a votive sheet at the site, among other finds: Quote In two dig seasons since the hiker’s lucky discovery, archaeologists have found a hundred more Roman coins struck from the 1st century to the 5th century A.D. The earliest is a coin of Tiberius 22-30 A.D.; the newest a coin of eastern emperor Arcadius (r. 395-408 A.D.). The team also unearthed 27 rock crystal stones, 59 Roman shoe hobnails, a fibula from the 1st century B.C. and a fragment of a bronze votive plate shaped like a leaf. https://www.heraldonline.com/news/nation-world/world/article273148170.html#storylink=mainstage_lead http://www.thehistoryblog.com/ Edited March 15, 2023 by guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
