Diverse ancient coins found in Suffolk

A strange collection of coins have been found by an amateur detectorist:

Quote

 

“Metal detectorist George Ridgway, 30, found the 725 Iron Age and Roman pieces after studying satellite imagery near his Suffolk home.”
 

“His massive haul includes a rare denarius, issued by King Juba I in the ancient African kingdom of Numidia between 60 and 46BC; Iron Age gold coins known as staters, from the reign of Celtic king Cunobelin, who ruled in Colchester from 10AD to 40AD; and a gold Claudius I-era aureus, dated between 41 and 42AD.”

 

At this point, the details are rather limited. It seems, however, that this is a diverse haul. I am uncertain whether this came from a single hoard or was a collection from separate hoards and isolated finds in one area. Finding a coin from distant Numidia is interesting, however.
