Roman and medieval coins and jewellery declared treasure

Five of the 82 Roman coins declared as treasure

Roman and medieval gold and silver objects found in Wrexham and Flintshire have been declared treasure.

The finds included a silver gilt ring and a silver arm-ring chain, both from Henryd, and a medieval silver brooch from Trelawnyd.

Adam Gwilt, of National Museum Wales, said they helped uncover the "cultural identities and influences... of the ancient peoples of Wales".

The items were declared treasure by the coroner for north east Wales.

They were found by different people between 2014 and 2016 at locations around the two local authority areas.

Mr Gwilt, principal curator for prehistory, department of history and archaeology and project manager of the Saving Treasures; Telling Stories Project, said: "These, often personal objects, provide strong and tangible connections between people past and present."
