Discover Roman treasures in Scotland

The treasure consists of many pieces of silver, coins and jewelry found in northeastern Scotland.

The Aberdeen University team of experts discovered more than 100 silver objects, including ancient Roman and Picts vases, bracelets, brooches and coins in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

According to Dr. Gordon Noble, they date from the 4th to 6th century, during the decline of the Western Roman Empire. The Picts community here is part of the mighty kingdoms of the Middle Ages (the period began after the fall of the Western Roman Empire).

During this period, silver was cut into pieces or ingots, used and exchanged as a form of payment, reward or bribery. People often bury treasure to keep it safe, but not everyone can return to get it back.

Sci-News said the finding is consistent with previous research results on the use and reuse of silver for centuries.

Previously, a treasure of many 2,000-year-old coins was once unearthed in a cave in England.
