Archaeologists in Luxembourg have unearthed a hoard of 141 Roman gold coins dating back to the 4th and 5th centuries AD. The coins, discovered near the foundations of a small Roman fort, feature portraits of eight emperors, including the short-lived usurper Eugenius .
The find, kept secret for almost four years due to its historical significance and the presence of World War II munitions, is considered a major archaeological discovery as it allows for the study of an entire ancient monetary deposit in its context. The coins, known as solidi, are valued at 308,600 euros (nearly $322,000) and will contribute to our understanding of the last century of the Roman Empire in the West
