Perhaps in a rush or while planning for the future, someone buried a large number of coins but never returned to retrieve them, and they remained hidden until a lucky amateur archaeologist made the discovery.
The hidden treasure includes 1,168 silver coins from ancient Rome.
Cosmin Vasile, the president of Dolj County, stated that a metal detector enthusiast accidentally discovered the buried treasure while searching in Dolj County.
An image circulating on social media depicts a cleaned coin, silver and shiny, sparkling against a backdrop of tarnished green disks. The coin shows a figure holding unidentified objects in each hand, surrounded by an inscription along the edge.
Historically, Romania was known as Dacia during the Roman Empire, and the Dacians and Romans had a long-standing history of hostility. To protect their borders, the Romans built numerous fortresses, watchtowers, and other fortifications throughout the area.
This discovery sheds light on the history of the region and provides valuable insights into the Roman era in the history of these territories.
