A trove of 209 Roman coins in a cave in northern Spain – hailed by researchers as an "exceptional find" – is believed to have been uncovered by a badger desperately foraging for food.

Probably wanted to use the coins to buy a takeaway.

And "The Romans conquered the Iberian peninsula in 218BC" is rather a dismissive way of describing two centuries of hard campaigning.
