Archaeologists in Italy have unearthed more than two dozen 2,000-year-old bronze statues, many of which are impeccably preserved in millennia of mud, alongside thousands of coins left there by Romans and Etruscans, a mysterious people who once ruled parts of the Italian Peninsula and whose language has yet to be deciphered.
In addition to full-body sculptures, archaeologists found bronze carvings of individual body parts and organs, which may have been used as offerings to the gods, alongside 5,000 gold, silver and bronze coins. Archaeologists discovered the collection in a thermal spring near the commune, where the mud-caked waters helped preserve the pieces. The artifacts date to the end of the Etruscan civilization, roughly between the middle of the third century B.C. and 90 B.C., when the Roman Empire was expanding.
