GOLD FEVER IN TRIER
PERMANENT EXHBIT, RHEINISCHES LANDESMUSEUM, TRIER
In 196 A.D.: In the turmoil of the civil war under Emperor Septimius Severus, an unknown person hid an immense sum of money in the form of around 2,650 Roman gold coins in a cellar in Trier – he was no longer able to retrieve it. The treasure remained in the earth until September 1993. After 1,800 years, the treasure was rediscovered during excavation work — a sensation. Gold fever broke out in Trier, and the coins ended up in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum. On October 8, 2019: Two burglars entered the museum to steal the coin treasure of 18.5 kg of pure gold. The police thwarted the robbery attempt – the perpetrators fled without taking anything but caused a lot of damage. The coin cabinet was destroyed and had to be closed for the public. Since September 2022 the coin exhibit has been open again and can be visited. In addition to the coin exhibit, there are several other themed displays from the Roman era in Trier.
