Amateur archaeologist finds 934 Roman silver denarii in Germany's largest Hadrian-era hoard

Amateur archaeologist Oliver Riedl called authorities after his metal detector kept signalling near Wesseling, south of Cologne, leading experts to recover 934 Roman silver denarii—the largest coin hoard from Emperor Hadrian's era found in Germany, weighing 3.1kg. Likely buried deliberately in the second century AD, the treasure went on display Tuesday at the LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn.
