In the money! Massive hoard of 4,000 Roman coins unearthed in Switzerland after lying undisturbed under a cherry tree for 1,700 years
Hoard is one of biggest of its kind ever to have been found in Switzerland
Buried some 1,700 years ago, the coins collectively weigh 33lbs (15kg)
They bear the impressions of Roman Emperors Aurelian and Maximillian
Farmer who discovered them beneath a cherry tree won't get reward
 
I'll take that as a down payment for reparations when the Roman empire enslaved my peebles!
