Title: the Hallaton Hoard Post by: handyman [Alan} on February 21, 2012, 09:05:07 PM having some spare time today, i made my way over to market harborough to go view the hallaton hoard and the roman helmet. It's well worth a visit and thoroughly recommended.
To see so many coins on display from the various celtic tribes, was awesome. feel free to take a look round the website and if ever you are in the area, go check it out. http://www.leics.gov.uk/index/leisure_tourism/museums/harboroughmuseum/treasure/treasure_coins/treasure_coins_noflash.htm (http://www.leics.gov.uk/index/leisure_tourism/museums/harboroughmuseum/treasure/treasure_coins/treasure_coins_noflash.htm) http://www.leics.gov.uk/index/leisure_tourism/museums/harboroughmuseum/treasure/treasure_coins.htm (http://www.leics.gov.uk/index/leisure_tourism/museums/harboroughmuseum/treasure/treasure_coins.htm) Title: Re: the Hallaton Hoard Post by: Chef Geoff on February 21, 2012, 09:37:20 PM Very nice and as you say unusual in the amount of different currencies and is a good example of how trade was quite healthy even before the conquest. Mind you how that Dupondius of Trajan got in there is even more weird :-\
