"Digs at the London Olympic site have unearthed evidence of
Iron Age and Roman settlements, authorities said on Wednesday.

"Pottery and a Roman coin have been found on the site of
the planned Aquatics Centre in Stratford, east London.

"They were buried behind a wooden river wall that may have
been built and used by the Romans.

"The coin, which has been dated to 330-335 AD, shows two
soldiers and their standards on one side, and emperor
Constantine II and Caesar on the other.

"The items will go on show at the Museum of London as
part of its collection and record of the site's dig."
