Doesn’t England have some law that states any coins found belong to the government? I think I read something like that before.

The Gauls may have used the coins to pay or bribe mercenaries to fight against Julius Caesar.

Or they could have been used to buy wine, women, and song.

For anyone puzzled by the term "Detectorist", it's a British word and title of a really funny TV series. In the first series they miss an entire Viking Ship burial that's clearly visible from the last parting aerial pan shot.

"...The Gauls may have used the coins to pay or bribe..."

This was a blatant attempt by the French to interfere with a British election.

Historical records indicate Britain was holding their first Brexit vote that year.

"They date from precisely the time when Britain emerged from prehistoric to historic times," she said.

Recorded history only began 2000 years ago? The Greeks and the Egyptians are considered prehistoric civilizations?

I never understood how coins worked back in ancient times. Why weren’t they considered worthless being that they weren’t backed up by anything? I would think trade would be more valuable. Say you sell a bunch of animal skins to somebody and they give you coins, what are you going to do with the coins when you make your living from hunting, gathering, trapping, and growing crops? It’s not like they had Viking grocery stores
