2,000 year old gold and silver jewelry was found during renovations on a department store in England.
A great discovery was made during renovations at a department store in England.
Ancient Roman jewelry was found buried in Colchester, which is about 50 miles northeast of London.
The jewelry dates back to 61 A.D. and has been left untouched in the ground for 2,000 years.
It's believed the jewelry was left behind during the Boudican Revolt, when native Britons fought with the Romans.
The findings suggest the jewelry owner's house once stood there, and was burned down during the Revolt.
The jewelry was most likely buried by its wealthy owner, or one of her slaves.
Amongst the jewelry found were three gold armlets, a silver chain necklace, two silver bracelets, four gold rings and two sets of gold earrings.
Along with the jewelry, partial human remains were unearthed showing signs of violent injury, as well as the burnt remnants of different foods including wheat and figs.
