Beau Street Hoard
in Paulton
This unique hoard
was excavated by
archaeologists on the
site of the new
Gainsborough Hotel
in Beau Street, Bath
in 2007 and is one of
the most
remarkable
archaeological
discoveries to have
been made in Bath in
recent times.
The 17,577 silver Roman coins span the period from 32BC
– 274AD and were found in eight separate money bags,
which were fused together.
Find out how the hoard was discovered, look in detail at
some of the coins and make a replica coin to take home.
Sat 8th November, 11.00 - 4pm and illustrated talks at
11.30am and 2pm, Paulton Village Hall. All welcome.
