"It looks like someone was trying to hide them, but they never went back to get them," Sa Coixao said. Archeologists excavating the site, which is believed to be a Roman village, came across the coins Friday, he said. The excavation site, about 300 kilometers (180 miles) from Lisbon, also includes a spa and a large house with heated rooms and colorful mosaics, according to Sa Coixao. He expected the dig to last several more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
