"Massive Trove of Ancient Roman Coins Unearthed off Sardinian Coast"

Tens of thousands of Roman bronze coins, dating back to the fourth century, have been discovered off the coast of Sardinia. The coins, known as follis, were found in exceptional condition and are believed to number between 30,000 and 50,000. The discovery suggests the presence of nearby shipwrecks, and archaeologists have hailed it as one of the most significant coin finds in recent times. A similar discovery was made in the UK in 2013.
