A total of 44 gold coins have been discovered, featuring the image of the British Celtic King Cunobelin from 40 AD, according to foreign media reports. Archaeologists have unearthed dozens of ancient coins in the Netherlands, believed to have been stolen by Roman soldiers during their invasion of Britain. The coins were found in the vicinity of Utrecht, a city in the Netherlands.
The coins feature the portrait of Cunobelin, a British Celtic king, and were discovered at a depth of less than 30 centimeters below the surface, according to the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities. The museum stated that the coins are believed to have been looted by Roman forces under General Aulus Plautius, who led the conquest of Britain between 43 and 47 AD. The area where the coins were found is considered to have been a key route established by the Romans during their initial passage into Britain.
