During archaeological work this summer at the ancient Roman fortress of Sostra near the Bulgarian town of Troyan, three residential buildings dating back to the III-IV century and used by the Roman military were discovered. Precious silver, bronze and copper coins and a very rare find - a measure used to weight gold coins were found too.

The coins date from the times of Emperor Trajan's rule (98 to 117 AD) and from a later period to the beginning of the 5th century, archaeologists reported.
