LONDON – A treasure hunter has found about 52,500 Roman coins, one of
the largest such discoveries ever in Britain, officials said Thursday.

The hoard, which was valued at 3.3 million pounds ($5 million),
includes hundreds of coins bearing the image of Marcus Aurelius
Carausius, who seized power in Britain and northern France in the late
third century and proclaimed himself emperor.
