The Princeton University numismatic collection integrated into the Nomisma.org Linked Open Data cloud, with almost new 3,600 coins! 💰 If you don’t know about the Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE) project (my fav of all), with many 1000s of coins and types, check it out! numismatics.org/ocre/

Pot of gold!

Rare Roman gold coin hoard uncovered near Didcot, Oxfordshire, by a metal detectorist in 1995. The pot contained 126 gold aurei, struck between AD 54-160. It would have taken a legionary soldier over ten years to earn this large sum!
