Bragdavellir is a farm on the Hammer Bay. Early in the 20^th century, two ancient Roman coins were discovered near the farm. A few others were later discovered in the southwest and there were all kinds of theories about their existence in this country.

Did the Romans visit Iceland? Was Iceland Ultima Thule? Did the Vikings bring the coins from England? More artefacts were discovered at Bragdavellir later, but they did not offer any explanations.
