Shapwick Hoard
The Shapwick Hoard is a hoard of 9,262 Roman coins found at Shapwick, Somerset, England in September 1998. The coins dated from as early as 31–30 BC up until 224 AD.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Table 2 )〕 The hoard also notably contained two rare coins which had not been discovered in Britain before,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roman Coin Cache Discovered )〕 and the largest number of silver denarii ever found in Britain.
==Discovery, excavation and valuation==
The hoard was discovered by cousins Kevin and Martin Elliott,〔 who were amateur metal detectorists, in a field at Shapwick. Excavation of the site found that it had been "buried in the corner of a room of a previously unknown Roman building" and, after further excavation and geophysical surveying, "revealed the room to be part of a courtyard villa".〔
Following a treasure inquest at Taunton, the hoard was declared treasure and valued at £265,000. Somerset County Museum Services acquired the hoard, with the aid of Somerset County Council, the National Heritage Memorial Fund, and other organisations, and it is now displayed at the Museum of Somerset in the grounds of Taunton Castle.〔
An addendum to the discovery was filed in the Treasure Annual Report 2000 which added a further 23 coins, valued at £690, also found by Kevin and Martin Elliott.〔
