Rare 2,000-year-old coins reveal new clues about Europe's Celtic past

Archaeologists in Germany uncovered a rare 2,000-year-old Celtic coin hoard while excavating a former sports field ahead of construction of a new fire station. The discovery is the largest known hoard of its kind in the region.

A construction project in central Germany led to the discovery of 11 ancient Celtic coins dating back to the first century B.C. Researchers say the rare treasure could offer new clues about ancient trade routes and communities across Europe.
