The coins were found close to the Roman Baths
More than 30,000 Roman coins have been found by archaeologists working on the site of a new hotel in Bath.
The silver coins are believed to date from 270AD and are being described as the fifth largest hoard ever found.
They were discovered by archaeologists working 150 metres from the historic Roman Baths.
The coins are fused together and have been sent to the British Museum.
Conservators are expected to take at least a year to work through them.
