The discovery of 24 perfectly-preserved bronze statues dating back to the 2nd Century B.C. at a thermal spa in Tuscany has given archeologists a rare glimpse at the past that may just “rewrite history,” they say.
The discovery was made at the San Casciano dei Bagni spa in Tuscany, which boast millennia-old natural thermal springs that attract tourists to the town to soak in the same thermal waters as emperors did.
The statues, which were part of a votive deposit that included coins and other artifacts with inscriptions in Etruscan and Latin, were buried in the thermal waters as part of a religious rite, and were never meant to be found, Osanna said. Tabolli called the find “a discovery that will rewrite history” given that it is “the greatest store of statues from ancient Italy and in any case the only one whose context we can wholly reconstruct.”
