Description
The Beau Street Hoard is an exceptional discovery of a Roman silver coin hoard unearthed during an archaeological excavation in Bath. In 2007, a total of 17,500 coins were found in eight separate bags, which are believed to have been deposited over time.
This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of this remarkable find, focusing on its discovery, scientific investigation, and interpretation within the context of the Roman world. The book also sheds light on the conservation process through photographs of the excavation itself.
Part of the British Museum Press's Hoards series, which has proven to be highly popular with collectors and enthusiasts alike, this book offers a unique insight into one of the most significant finds in recent years.
