Amateur metal detecting enthusiast Keith Bennett stumbled upon 1,141 Roman denarii, or silver coins, in farmer Peter Turner's field, near Stratford, last July.
The 1,141 silver Denarii coins, the earliest dating from 206-195BC, were discovered in Stratford, Warwickshire, in July last year.
However, this same servant took no pity on someone who owed him the tiny (by comparison) sum of 100 denarii (a denarius was one day's wage and 6,000 denarius equalled one talent).
