Sevilla (ESP) :Every numismaticists "wet dream" - Simplex - 04-30-2016
Hi
.....they seem to have run into ca. 600 kg of Roman coinage at Sevilla, as the newspapers say:
http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/riesiger-schatz-muenzen-beeindruckt-archaeologen-in-spanien-a-1090041.html
Fresh from the mint and in small amphorae, presumably made for transporting the coinage so head of Archeological Museum of Sevilla,
Ana Navarro Ortega has been revealing. They had been found while digging pipe trenches for electrical supply lines in a park at Sevilla.
At first glance most of the coinage seem to consist mostly of bronce or silvered bronce.
Should be a tedious task dating and catalogizing them.

Numismaticists dream? Perhaps - it would be too bad if they were all one and the same coin!
