The hoard, known as the Ryedale Roman Bronzes, includes a bust of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, and was found in North Yorkshire.

A large donation from an American supporter, Richard Beleson from San Francisco, made the purchase possible, the museum said.

The hoard was found by two metal detectorists in a field near Ampleforth in Ryedale, North Yorkshire, last year. It is believed to have been buried as part of a religious ceremony.

It includes the five-inch (13cm) bust, a statuette of Mars the god of war, a knife handle shaped as a horse and a plumb bob used for engineering projects.

Dr Andrew Woods, senior curator of the Museum, said: "The Ryedale Roman Hoard is a find of national significance and great rarity.

"It is a truly exceptional collection."

The items were originally bought by a collector at auction for £185,000 in May.

The 30-year-old is also suspected of illegally possessing explosives.

The city is bidding for government funding to electrify its bus fleet, run more frequent services and improve its park and ride scheme.

There is also a plan to introduce a flat fare system for young people.

Julian Ridge, City of York Council's sustainable transport manager, said the plan was to run services every 10 minutes between 07:00 and 19:00.

“If we do get the funding we’ve asked for it does have the potential to be a real game-changer", he said.

The government has committed to spending £3bn on improving bus services outside of London in this parliament and has asked local authorities to come up with plans, which must be submitted by the end of the month.

Mr Ridge outlined the proposals at a city council meeting.

Councillors were told transport is responsible for almost 30% of York’s city-wide emissions. There are around 150 buses operating across York.

Mr Ridge said that, unlike many areas of the country, York had two-thirds as many bus users as it did in the year 2000, and the city has the 11th highest trip rate outside of London.

A blind marathon runner has thanked a Leeds man for helping him get over the finish line after his guide suffered an injury during a race.

Haseeb Ahmad, who is an Ironman triathlon world record holder from Leicester, was taking part in the Manchester Marathon at the weekend when his guide was injured 18 miles into the 26.2-mile race.

The pair had to stop, which is when Stuart Whitehouse from Leeds stepped in.

Mr Ahmad says: "Stuart ran past us and shouted in his lovely Leeds accent, 'go on lads keep going' and I said, 'well my guide's injured, so how about you take me to the end of the race?'"

Humberside Police are investigating the theft of a church bell at St Matthew's church in Withernsea that worshippers didn't realise was missing for six days.

Staff reported a break-in last Monday but didn't realise some of the damage had been caused by the bell being dropped from 30ft (9m).

They finally noticed its absence when it failed to ring at Sunday service.

Rev Martin Faulkner said it "didn't occur" to them "to look up".

He told BBC Radio Humberside that "instead of getting the lovely ding sound... we got a sort of funk."

The idea of charging some people to drive into Leeds is once again being considered by the council.

The idea forms part of a report on the future of transport, which is due to be discussed by senior councillors next week.

The idea for charging polluting vehicles comes under the heading "we may need to consider", and revisits the plans for a Clean Air Zone, which were scrapped last year.

The report suggests a future low carbon zone could be based on London's, where drivers of the most polluting cars have to pay £12.50. Operators of lorries, buses and coaches have to pay £100.

Plans for a mass transit system are back on the table, and the report also says the council aims to double public transport use in the next decade and move towards more "reasonable" bus fares.

These latest plans will be discussed at the council's executive board meeting next week.

The Ryedale Ritual Bronzes are said to be of "national significance".

A new temporary transmitter at Bilsdale in North Yorkshire is now operational after a fire at the site almost nine weeks ago.

The irreparable original 1,030ft (314m) mast was demolished in a controlled explosion last week.

The new temporary 260ft (80m) structure has been delayed because of bad weather.

Operator Arqiva tested the new mast yesterday and the early hours of today and it was switched on at 06:00 on Wednesday.

It now covers around 95% of the hundreds of thousands of households which lost services.

People still without a full range of TV and radio channels are being advised to re-scan their TVs and DAB radios if necessary.

More than 4,000 people are thought to have travelled from across the country to see a rare bird which is believed to have been seen in Yorkshire for the first time.

The long-toed stint was spotted at RSPB site St Aidans, Leeds on Friday, prompting a flurry of visitors.

Assitant warden Andrew Tiffany said the rare guest was still there wowing visitors.

"It's bringing people from all over the country," he said. "It's the biggest one I've seen in my birding life.

"It should be on its migratory path from Siberia down to south east Asia, so it's way off course.

"Everybody is happy and smiling [once they see it] and it's a nice chance for them to see St Aidans."

The reserve manipulates water levels to create ideal wading areas for birds, including the long-toed stint.

Mr Tiffany said the RSPB team were pleased to have attracted such a rare bird to the site.

"We hope to attract some rare waders, but to get a vagrant as rare as this is incredibly exciting," he added.

The site is being managed during the busy time to allow birders the chance to see the bird and the reserve for the first time.

Plans for the first phase of Sheffield Hallam University’s new campus at Howard Street go before council planners next week.

Three new buildings to accommodate 3,581 students and staff would be built around a new public area called University Green on Arundel Lane.

Officers are recommending the plans be approved in the key industrial area which was famous for its cutlery and steel production.

Historic England says the university has missed key opportunities to deliver “a locally distinctive development of sufficient richness”.

Planning officers say the development will cause some harm to heritage assets, but this is “less than substantial” when weighed against the public benefits of the scheme.

Councillors will make a decision on 19 October.

The roll-out of coronavirus vaccines in schools is too slow, according to a leading Yorkshire virologist.

Children aged 12 to 15 can now choose to have one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.

According to latest figures, around 11% of children in that age group in Yorkshire and the Humber have been vaccinated.

However, the rate varies by location: in Bradford only 5% of children have had a jab, but in Rotherham and Kirklees the figure is as high as 19%.

Dr Stephen Griffin, a virologist at the University of Leeds, says: "Term started several weeks ago, and we're already seeing unprecedented levels of infection in schools.

"We really need to push vaccines in children, for their safety, primarily, to prevent the spread of this disease as we approach winter."

In the second half of September, one in seven students was absent from English secondary schools.
