At a press conference to announce the discovery, Bonisoli described it as “historic” and shared new details his team had discovered during their initial analysis of the artifacts.
Bonisoli noted: “This is not just a unique discovery, it is a historic event, one of those that changes the course of history.”
Around 300 coins were found inside the jug, and Bonisoli's team believes they date back to 474 BC.
Moreover, this magnificent find is surrounded by some mysteries. Bonisoli explained that it is unusual to find ancient coins from this era in such a vessel.
Another unclear detail is the possible value of the coins, although Italian media reports that their price could be in the millions of euros.
