The “Group of Explorers” has uncovered a collection of rare Roman coins<\/a> and artifacts in a \u201cpreviously unknown archeological position\u201d in Ksi\u0119\u017cpol, eastern Poland, CBS News reported in late July.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The “Group of Explorers,” led by Janusz Szabat and Piotr Magoch, recently searched fields around Ksi\u0119\u017copol and found various metal coins, including several counterfeits, CBS reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among their discoveries were several rare Roman silver coins: three featuring Emperor Antonius Pius (from 138-161 AD) and one showing his wife Faustyna the Younger (from 141 AD), as well as a coin of Marcus Aurelius (from 174 AD). One of the Antonius Pius coins was partially cut, likely from trading, the report noted.<\/span>

Along with genuine Roman coins, the searchers found some counterfeit denars (short for Denarius, the name of the Roman coin) made by the Visigoths, a Germanic tribe ruled by a king living in the Roman Empire<\/a>. One of these fakes was hard to read. However, according to the report on CBS, the counterfeit showed the image of Emperor Antonius Pius and copied the real coin\u2019s inscription.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rare Roman denar and pottery<\/strong><\/h4>\n

They also discovered a rare, larger denar, twice the usual size, with the face of Empress Herennia Cupressenia Etruscilla, minted between 249 and 251 AD. This coin had a quarter cut off, probably also from trading.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Additionally, they found \u201cseveral small silicon tools\u201d and \u201cdozens of pieces of pottery.\u201d While the age of the silicon tools is unknown – CBS noted in their report – most of the pottery pieces are from the Roman period<\/a>. One fragment dates back to the Early Middle Ages, while the others are from more recent times.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

This find, according to CBS\u2019s report, was determined as a \u201cvery valuable scientific and conservation point,\u201d as the volume of items found at the scene suggests they were \u201cdealing with a new, previously unknown archaeological position.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
