A massive hoard of over 52 000 coins dating back to the third century AD have been discovered in a field near Frome in the English country of Somerset.  Archaeologists believe the hoard, which sheds light on the economic crisis and coalition government in the 3rd century, will rewrite the history books.The coins were found by Dave Crisp, from Devizes in Wiltshire. He was using a metal detector when he first found 21 coins, and after digging about a foothe came across a pot filled thousands more. Mr. Crisp said, ?I knew the find was important and I needed archaeological help, so I contacted my local Finds Liaison Officer. I have made many finds over the years, but this is my first coin hoard and it was a fascinating experience to take part in the excavation of it.?The full article, with videos and photos, is at http://historyoftheancientworld.com/2010/07/52000-roman-coins-discovered-in-england/
