In Italy, archaeologists during excavations on the island of Pantelleria, located in the Strait of Sicily, found a treasure consisting of 27 coins of the Roman Republic. All of these coins are silver denarii minted in Rome between 94 and 74 BC.
This is reported by News Planet with reference to The History Blog.
On the ancient acropolis of San Marco and Santa Teresa, archaeologists found a collection of silver coins from the times of the Roman Republic. This treasure was discovered almost by accident when the first coins were washed out of the ground by rain. After that, they decided to conduct a full-scale excavation, which was led by Thomas Schaefer from the University of Tübingen.
Interestingly, Schaefer's team has been exploring this acropolis for over 25 years. In 2010, they found a similar hoard of 107 Roman denarii minted in the same period as the newly discovered coins.
Friends, it is urgently necessary to assemble a DJI Mavic 3 for 154 OMBr. No matter what, the occupiers will not destroy themselves. You can join the collection here.
Archaeologists suggest that the current find may be a missing part of a hoard found 14 years ago. According to Schaefer, this small treasure was probably hidden during a pirate raid on the island.
In those days, the Romans fought against pirates, but they could not completely overcome piracy. Pirates attacked both merchant ships and coastal settlements, forcing residents to hide their valuables.
Perhaps one of the inhabitants of the island of Pantelleria hid his savings, hoping to return for them after the pirates left, but this never happened. The owner was probably killed or captured.
