Detectorists repeatedly find Roman gold coins, more to come in the field

The 2,000-year-old treasure was deposited before the Roman invasion of Britain. The coins have been ploughed up and moved from their original site near Norwich over the centuries, and have been found repeatedly by various detectorists in recent years. They were the finest coins in their day, and were even made into jewellery. Today they are very rare.
The site of the discovery was once in the territory of the Iceni tribe, whose Queen Boudica became famous for her resistance to Roman rule. The set of eleven coins found so far was worth about two years' pay for a Roman soldier. Numismatist Adrian Marsden of the Norfolk Historic Environment Service believes that the Iceni goldsmiths may have had themind to melt down the coins and make them into jewellery, perhaps rings or bracelets similar to those found at Ken Hill in Snettisham between 1948 and 1990.
Mr Marsden went on to say that the hoard was "really quite exceptional" and more of these gold coins would be discovered in the future: "For the last two or three years they have been saying 'they won't be there anymore' and I have been replying 'they will' and sure enough, there will be more to come. The depots are dispersed across the field by tractors, by ploughing or sowing, so the coins move around the fields in different ways and can travel quite long distances."
Each of the coins was made by hand, so each has small variations. They were minted in Lugdun, now Lyon, France. They do not appear to have been in circulation for long. Each of the coins shows a tiny groove at the head of the Emperor Augustus. Mr Marsden believes the striations were made by Iceni craftsmen to test the quality of the gold for recycling and jewellery making: 'This is really high purity gold. While common Iron Age gold coins were highly devalued, good Roman gold was instantly recognisable," Mr Marsden explained, adding that the coins were buried before the Roman invasion.
A coroner's inquest at Norfolk Crown Court confirmed the assumptions and the two latest coins were declared treasure. They all date from the last years of the 1st century BC and extend into the early years of the 1st century AD. The first coins were found by two detectorists in 2017 and since then more have been found repeatedly.
The British Museum previously recovered the first nine coins. It is expected to show interest in the latest finds and pay a set reward to the finders. This will be split with the landowner.

Noooo to je jeden celkem hezkej večer
Markymark: Dobrý postřeh! Okolnosti doby a "dvouletého platu" vysvětluje Marsden v den starém článku (svůj jsem odevzdal 5.7., kdy tato informace ještě nebyla známa):
The scholar noted that Roman gold coins rarely made their way to East Anglia, even after the island was conquered. In his opinion, the ten aureses discovered are comparable to the nine aureses that a legionnaire received as an annual salary in the middle of the 1st century. But the latter, due to interruptions in supply, were forced to spend about five coins on food, equipment and other things. Thus, the discovered treasure is approximately equal to a two-year salary of a soldier. - https://www.europeantimes.news/2022/07/treasure-of-gold-roman-aureus-buried-in-britain-before-the-roman-conquest/
