Archaeologists unearthed a massive trove of gold coins in the Czech Republic, minted by a long-lost civilization — with the site described by officials as "exceptional."
The discovery was announced by the Museum of Eastern Bohemia in Hradec Králové. The Celtic settlement was found along the route of a future highway, the July release said.
The site dates back to the La Tène period, with archaeologists finding that the settlement peaked in roughly the second century B.C.
It served as a "supra-regional trade and production center" that linked Central Europe to far-flung corners of the ancient world.
The La Tène period marked the height of Celtic power in Europe, shortly before Roman expansion into the region.

No beer pull tabs? As any detectorist will tell you, pull tabs and gold rings will ring up the same. That’s the challenge.
