Hundreds of people from around the world have donated to the keep the hoard in a public collection. A portion of the hoard, as well as the ceramic vessel it was found in, was shown on public display at the Yorkshire Museum until January 11, 2017. The hoard has then been taken for conservation, with the full hoard being revealed at next summer’s Eboracum Roman Festival on June 1-4, 2017.
