Metal detectorist finds Germany’s largest Hadrianic silver coin hoard
Germany’s largest coin hoard from the reign of the emperor Hadrian has been discovered near Wesseling, on the Rhine river just south of Cologne.

Archaeologists from the Nideggen branch of the LVR-ABR were immediately dispatched to excavate the find site. The team unearthed more than 900 additional denarii, for a total of 934 coins weighing 3.1 kilos (6.8 lbs) of silver. In terms of buying power, that’s more than three times the yearly pay of a Roman legionary. Since half of their salary was deducted to pay for their food and equipment, however, a legionary would have had to save every denarius for six years to amass a hoard of this size.


During the excavations, a concentration of numerous coins quickly became apparent. To better examine the find, it was recovered as a block and transported to the restoration workshop of the LVR State Museum in Bonn. There, the block of earth containing the coins was first X-rayed. This allowed valuable insights to be gained before the coins were unearthed. Fragments of a ceramic pot and remnants of straw were also found. “The coins were probably originally buried in a pot lined with straw,” says Rahel Otte. However, years of agricultural activity destroyed the container, and the coins were scattered in the soil. “But we were able to find and recover all the coins during our investigations.”
The hoard has now gone on display at the LVR State Museum in Bonn where it is being presented to the 300 archaeologists from all over Germany who are currently in town for the annual conference of the West and South German Association for Archaeological Research.

Roman silver coin hoard found on Gotland

Gotland’s location in the middle of the Baltic Sea made it strategically important for trade and military purposes. The earliest known fortifications on Gotland date back to 3rd century B.C., and since the 19th century the Swedish Armed Forces have had a significant presence in Gotland. The find site is next to the Tofta Shooting Range, a vast area of 2,700 hectares used for field exercises and weapons testing.

Iconic winter sport landscape acquired by Rijksmuseum and Mauritshuis
Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum and The Hague’s Mauritshuis have jointly acquired one of the most important winter landscape scenes from the Dutch Golden Age: Colf Players on the Ice, painted around 1625 by Hendrick Avercamp. To celebrate its homecoming, the masterpiece will first go on display in a special exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Kampen, Avercamp’s birthplace, from October 3rd to January 10th, 2027. After that, the two museums will split custody. This is the first time the Netherland’s two greatest museums, respectively home of Rembrandt’s The Night Watch and Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earring, are sharing an artwork.
Between 1575 and 1625, northern Europe experienced a period of severe winters known as “The Little Ice Age.” The rivers, canals, lakes and ports of below-sea-level Holland froze over for months. Avercamp was the first Dutch artist to specialize in depicting winter scenes, capturing people enjoying the cold in sports like ice skating, sledding and colf, and experiencing the harshness of having to work and live in such conditions.
Colf Players on the Ice is regarded as a highlight of Avercamp’s oeuvre. Unlike in his earlier winter landscape teeming with human figures, the artist focuses here on a small group in the foreground. The low vantage point makes us feel that we too are on the ice, and part of the scene. The focus is on two men playing colf – one of the oldest ball games in the Low Countries, and a forerunner of golf – as fishers, passers-by and other spectators watch the game. The painting is therefore not only a fabulous wintry scene, it is also the earliest known depiction of colf.
Colf was a popular year-round game in the Netherlands, played in the squares, church yards and the streets of town. Like golf, it was played by hitting a ball with a club, but unlike golf, the target was a vertical stick rather than a hole. Walloping balls through the streets of small, densely-inhabited towns had the unfortunate side-effect of breaking a lot of windows, and many towns passed ordinances prohibiting the game. The icy surfaces away from windows made the ideal colfing pitch.
Avercamp’s winter scenes are filled with details, capturing people from all walks of life. In Colf Players on the Ice, the gentleman in kuitbroek (knee breeches) wields the colf club while commoners like an ice fishermen and the little boy with a net helping him watch the game. The clothes are a snapshot of fashions followed by the merchants and burghers, as well as the rugged winterwear of the working classes.

The acquisition is very important for the Netherlands. Although several paintings by Avercamp are in Dutch public collections, almost all of them are early works. Colf Players on the Ice , on the other hand, shows the innovative nature of his mature style, and is thus an essential addition to the Dutch national collection.

Remains of Roman structure found in Switzlerland


Excavations at the site began in June before new residential construction. Over about 5,380 square feet of area, the excavation uncovered remnants of a wooden structure from the final decades of the 1st century B.C., the oldest remains at the site. In the 2nd century A.D., the wooden structure was demolished, the ground leveled and a new masonry structure erected.

The building was altered again between 2nd and 3rd centuries. Additional walls were added to the interior and a platform was built of recycled bricks. The structure was permanently abandoned when it was destroyed in a fire in the 3rd century. Charcoal and remains of the collapsed roof were left untouched, so there was no further attempt to modify the building or salvage surviving materials.
While the southern portico overlooked a small road, a large strip of land behind the building extended for artisanal and agricultural activities. Postholes (indicating the presence of lightweight structures or temporary roofs) and a small path made of reused bricks, likely serving as a path and demarcating the plot, were discovered in this area.
The precise function of the building is still unclear, but the absence of fireplaces and other structures associated with domestic life seems to rule out residential use. A particularly noteworthy element, however, is the exceptional abundance of ferrous slag and bronze-working waste in the 2nd and 3rd century AD layers. These finds suggest the presence of significant metalworking activity in the immediate vicinity.
