just a
hard working badgerlooking for a meal, in Spain uncovers a pile of Roman coins  from the 3-5th century

A trove of 209 Roman coins in a cave in northern Spain – hailed by researchers as an “exceptional find” – is believed to have been uncovered by a badger desperately foraging for food.

The coins, dating from between the third and fifth century AD, were spotted in a cave in the municipality of Grado in the northern region of Asturias. They were found mere feet from the den of a badger, months after Storm Filomena dumped heavy snow across swaths of the country.

Researchers believe that the snow forced the badger to step up its foraging efforts, leaving it prodding at a small crack near its den in hopes of uncovering berries or worms.

Instead it appears that the animal hit on a stockpile of worn Roman coins, forged in places as far away as Constantinople and Thessaloniki, archaeologist Alfonso Fanjul Peraza told El País newspaper.

Most of the coins are made of copper and bronze and the largest, weighing more than eight grams and containing 4% silver, is believed to have been forged in London.

“To date, this is the largest treasure trove of Roman coins found in a cave in northern Spain,” the researchers said in a recently published report.

Odd qualifiers there.

I mean we found a shitload of Greek coins in a cave in northern Spain, a bunch of roman coins in a cave in central Spain, and even more Roman coins in a bog in northern Spain. But this is pretty cool, too.  So far...

Luckily it was a European badger.

I guess now the badger can use the coins to buy that meal he was looking for. 

Stupid badger left all the coins behind. Let him starve!
