When a little box was found hidden beneath the floors of an apparently regular Fenwick department store in Colchester, England, in September 2014, it stunned the entire world.
The box had precious gold and silver jewelry from the year 60 AD and had been sitting there unattended by a person for over hundred years.
This priceless Roman artifact was displayed to the public in Colchester Castle because it provides a window into Roman imperial life. The jewelry pieces continue to rank among the most valuable antiquities ever discovered in the nation.
