1,300 pounds of uncirculated Roman coins unearthed in Spain

[Z.K.]

19 Amphoras filled with apparently uncirculated Roman coins from the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, found by construction workers in Tomares, Andalusia. Story came out today and didn't see it posted anywhere else here, so thought I'd share it.

I saw that, and just read a few different articles about it. Gotta love a place where history goes back more than several hundred years.

I hope the crew gets a finders fee at least. That's an amazing treasure!
