Hoxne Hoard
The Hoxne Hoard is a significant archaeological discovery made in 1992 near the village of Hoxne in Suffolk, England. It consists of a large collection of Roman coins, jewelry, and silverware, believed to date back to the late 4th or early 5th century AD. The hoard was found by a metal detectorist, revealing over 15,000 coins and various artifacts, making it the largest cache of Roman treasure ever found in Britain.
The items in the Hoxne Hoard provide valuable insights into the economic and social conditions of the time. Among the treasures are exquisite pieces of gold and silver jewelry, as well as everyday items like cooking utensils. The hoard is now housed in the British Museum, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical significance.
