The third biggest hoard of Roman coins ever found in Britain is going on display for the first time.

Laurence Egerton discovered the 'Seaton Down Hoard' with his metal detector in Devon in 2013.

Some of the 22,888 coins have now been cleaned up and will be displayed at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter.
