“Archaeologists unearthed a massive trove of gold coins in the Czech Republic, minted by a long-lost civilization — with the site described by officials as ‘exceptional.’ The discovery was announced by the Museum of Eastern Bohemia in Hradec Králové. The Celtic settlement was found along the route of a future highway, the July release said. The site dates back to the La Tène period, with archaeologists finding that the settlement peaked in roughly the second century B.C. … It served as a ‘supra-regional trade and production center’ that linked Central Europe to far-flung corners of the ancient world. The La Tène period marked the height of Celtic power in Europe, shortly before Roman expansion into the region.” (08/26/25)
