1,400-year-old Coin Jar Found in Vietnam
The ancient city of Adrianopolis was an important ecclesiastical administrative center, and several famous religious figures were born or lived here, making Adrianopolis an extremely popular pilgrimage site.

And while excavating in the ancient city of Hadrianopolis, experts from Karabük University unexpectedly found a strange object.

These are ten coins estimated to be around 1,400 years old, contained in an earthenware jar. The coins date back to the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Constans II.

Perhaps this was not a treasure trove intentionally hidden or buried, but more like a local family's piggy bank.

Buying Books and Never Reading Them

It's often said that "there's probably a German word" for unusual situations that are difficult to express in English, but sometimes there's actually a Japanese word instead. Tsundoku, for example, describes the act of buying books and never reading them. Many bibliophiles can surely relate. Doku can be used in Japanese as a verb that means "reading," and tsun comes from tsumu, which means "to pile up." According to University of London Japanese studies professor Andrew Gerstle, the word appears to have been coined in 1879 in a satirical reference to a teacher who didn't read the many books he owned. Despite that, the term - which can also refer to the piles of books themselves - doesn't carry a particularly negative connotation in Japan.
