Precious coins lay undisturbed for 2,000 years

A precious hoard of Roman and Late Iron Age coins has been discovered in a British cave where they have lain undisturbed for more than 2,000 years.

The treasure trove was unearthed by a member of the public, who stumbled across four coins in the cavern in Dovedale in the Peak District, sparking a full-scale excavation.

Experts say the find is highly unusual as it is the first time coins from these two separate civilisations have been buried together.
