A granite bust is shown [IMG]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/11/26/15/2ED566B400000578-3334908-image-a-10_1448553444882.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/11/26/15/2ED566B800000578-3334908-image-a-9_1448553436892.jpg[/IMG] Some of the coins date from the rule of Emperor Nero, (bust pictured left) between 54 and 68AD. He was known for being cruel and extravagant. The most recent coins among the hoard were issued by Marcus Aurelius, (bust shown right) who ruled from 161AD to 180AD [IMG]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/11/26/11/2ED2A77200000578-0-image-a-23_1448538021209.jpg[/IMG] The rare hoard was discovered within a mile from another historic find of 130 denarii, which was unearthed 15 years ago. This image shows a Marcus Aurelius coin from the newly-discovered hoard [IMG]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/11/26/11/2ED2A89600000578-0-image-a-29_1448538062389.jpg[/IMG] The three silver denarii were found among the 'new' hoard of 91 coins, including those issued by Roman rulers spanning 200 years. A selection from the Wick hoard are shown above [IMG]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/11/26/11/2ED2A73200000578-0-image-a-32_1448538077399.jpg[/IMG] A numismatist has said the denarii may be 'worth tens of thousands of pounds'. A close-up of a coin bearing the image of Marcus Aurelius, which was among the hoard, is shown above [/QB][/QUOTE]
