The Treasure is one of the most extensive archaelogical finds from the time of the Roman Conquest of Britain. It comprises an elaborate silver-gilded Roman cavalry helmet, over 5000 Late Iron Age coins, and other metal objects including jewellery, military objects and vessels. It was found on a site which was an important religious centre for the Corieltavi, the dominant Iron Age tribe in the East Midlands.
