"On a Sunday morning in September 2002 metal detectorist Alan Meek and fellow members of the North Hertfordshire Charity Detector Group were scanning an unremarkable stubble field to the south of the pretty village of Ashwell in North Herts. Little did they know that what lay beneath would prove to be one of the rarest and most significant finds, not just in Britain, but in the Roman world"
