In a groundbreaking discovery near Siena, Italy, archaeologists unearthed 24 impeccably preserved bronze statues, dating back 2,300 years to the Roman Republic. Found alongside a trove of 5,000 Roman coins, the statues, featuring deities like Apollo and Hygieia, astoundingly bear inscriptions in Etruscan and Latin.
Described as a history-rewriting find by lead excavator Jacopo Tabolli, these artifacts offer a unique glimpse into a tumultuous era. San Casiano dei Bagni anticipates a cultural renaissance, with plans for a new museum and archaeological park, heralding a promising chapter in the town’s revitalization.
