Archaeologists working on a major road development in the Cotswolds believe they have discovered a trove of Roman artifacts along the A417 route.

The site has yielded artifacts dating back as far as 12,000 years, including pieces from the Neolithic period.

Among the finds are a rare cupid figurine, a Roman nail cleaner, pottery, coins, and jewelry.

These items were showcased at a public event held at Gloucester Guildhall.

According to Alex Thompson, project manager from Oxford Cotswold Archaeology, the settlement likely served travelers along Ermin Street, the road connecting Roman Cirencester and Gloucester.

The team theorizes that the site may have offered services such as horse care or exchange, with evidence of stabling or overnight accommodation, the BBC reported.
