Bunnik Hoard

The Bunnik Hoard is a Romano-British coin hoard discovered in the village of Bunnik, Netherlands. The hoard consists of 404 coins of Celtic, Roman, and Numidian origin which were deposited in 47 AD. It is notable as the largest hoard found in Utrecht and the first mixed composition hoard found outside of Great Britain. As part of the Limes Germanicus, the Roman Netherlands had a strong Roman military presence and many fortifications. It served as a launch base for the Roman conquest of Britain.
