A HOARD of Roman silver coins uncovered at Leintwardine could soon be heading home – with few clues as to how they first got there.
The coins are currently in the care of Herefordshire Museum Service having been donated by the finder and owner.
Believed to be the contents of a purse scattered by ploughing, the coins were found by a metal detectorist in the Leintwardine area over a six-month period.
The hoard includes one coin of Augustus, five of Tiberius and one of Nero and are dated to around AD 59 – when Nero was Emperor.
