A collection of coins from the Late Iron Age and the Roman Republic have been found in a cave in Derbyshire.
A precious hoard of Roman and Late Iron Age coins has been discovered in a cave in the Peak District where they have lain undisturbed for more than 2,000 years.
The treasure trove was initially unearthed by a member of the public, who stumbled across four coins in the cavern in Dovedale, sparking a full-scale excavation of the site.
Experts say the find is highly unusual as it is the first time coins from these two separate civilisations have been buried together.
