A RARE Roman coin was among hundreds of historical artefacts dug up by a Polish historical society in Luton earlier this month.
Members of the Polish Historical Exploration Club Thesaurus struck gold while digging for archeological treasure in a farmer’s field on the outskirts of Luton.
Igor Murawski, chairman of Thesaurus, said: ““It is really amazing and a great privilege to be able to connect with history like that.
“We chose to come to Luton because of its rich past.
“The fields around the town are very promising with lots of Roman and Celtic history.
“It looks as though we made the right choice coming here.”
