It's a cool October morning in a rural part of Worcestershire when workman, digging in the small village of Bransford at the foot of the Malvern Hills stumble upon a find so significant it puts the county quite literally on the historical map. There, likely buried beneath a tree originally in a late iron age or very early Roman ditch (which may have formed the boundary to a farm, field or livestock enclosure according to excavations), is a 'Severn Ware' pot (produced locally) full of coins that archeologists would laer learn span not only the Roman Rebublic, but the Roman Empire and also the globe.
