Sea Depths Treasure Uncovered
A diver in the waters of Arzachena off the coast of Sardinia discovered over 30,000 bronze Roman coins dating from 324 to 340 AD. Authorities estimate the total could reach 50,000 coins. It is believed that the coins are linked to the wreck of a sunken ship, as fragments of Roman artifacts such as pottery were also found at the site, though the exact location of the ship remains unknown. These discoveries are considered among the most significant recent archaeological finds in the region, offering valuable insights into maritime trade in the Mediterranean during the late Roman period. However, the diver entered a legal dispute over the reward, and the court rejected his claim.
