guy Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 (edited) Three almost entirely silver Roman-era ingots were confiscated by a man in Ukraine who attempted to sell them illegally online. Each of the metal blocks, which weighs almost 12 ounces (342 grams), contain a coin-shaped impression of Constantine the Great. These ingots would have been used for minting silver coins. It is uncertain how the ingots ended up in Ukraine. The previous owner claims that his great grandmother discovered the ingots buried in her backyard in Western Ukraine. https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/romans/rare-roman-era-silver-ingots-depicting-constantine-the-great-seized-from-alleged-black-market-sale Edited August 17 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
