Archaeologists in Algeria have discovered a "treasure" consisting of 10,200 bronze coins dating back to the 4th century AD. The discovery was made in an area west of Algiers in collaboration with the National Gendarmerie. The coins date back to the late Roman period, a significant era for North Africa. In addition, three other items of interest were recovered during the same operation and are currently under examination.
