9 year old boy accidentally found Roman coin 1800 years playing during extracurricular activities in Bremen, the smallest state GermanyThis is reported by the State Department of Archeology.

This is a rare silver Roman denarius from the time of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who reigned between 161 and 180 AD, which was found last summer and which was publicly presented this Friday during a press conference with its discoverer Bjarne.

The Bremen state archaeologist Uta Halle admitted that the discovery of this coin in Bremen “is something special.” there are only two other comparable parts in the region.

In addition, Galle noted that the coin was found in territory outside the Roman Empiretherefore, he suspects that it could be a trade item that belonged to a Roman mercenary or the memory of a traveler.

The archaeologist reiterated that this is a rare find, as there are not many places where children can dig.
