A hoard of 16 silver Roman coins spanning two centuries has been discovered in a field by a detectorist.
The denarii date from the late Roman Republic to the reign of Marcus Aurelius and his wife Faustina, and were found at Barton Bendish, Norfolk.
Coin specialist Adrian Marsden said the loss might have been the equivalent of "a few hundred quid" to its owner.
The hoard is the subject of a treasure inquest and King's Lynn Museum is hoping to acquire it.
