The Cunetio Hoard, also known as the Mildenhall Hoard,[1] is the largest hoard of Roman coins found in Britain. It was discovered in 1978 at the site of the Roman town of Cunetio, near modern-day Mildenhall, Wiltshire, and consisted of 54,951 low value coins. The coins were contained in a large pot and a lead container.[2] The coins are now in the British Museum[3] and the pot is on display at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes.
