The Thetford Treasure:
Romans Rediscovered
A portion of the late Roman Thetford Treasure, one of East Anglia's
most significant archaeological finds, is displayed for the first
time in Thetford itself, following a major refurbishment of Ancient
House.
The beautiful 83 piece collection, dated between
AD380–90, was found in superb condition in the Gallows
Hill area of Thetford in 1979. The loan includes some of the most
prized objects such as a gold buckle featuring a dancing satyr and
the engraved silver spoons.
