While working near the city of Seville (in Spain), builders discovered 19 amphorae containing bronze coins from the 4th century AD. The total weight of the find is 600 kg, archaeologists call it unique for Spain and, possibly, for the whole world.
Amphora, some of which were intact, were found during the construction of the road.
The coins are noted to be in excellent condition. The treasure itself was placed in a special tank filled with bricks and fragments of ceramics. According to the previous hypothesis, the coins were intended to pay taxes to the emperor or to pay soldiers of the imperial army.
Now the coins have already been transferred to the Archaeological Museum of Seville.
This vase was broken by accident.
We continued to dig and found more…
