Thanks for the link. It would be fun to live in Europe and find a hoard of ancient coins.

Now and then someone will write an article but use a stock photo. The coins in the photo are not Roman. I took a screen shot, turned the pic upside down, zoomed in and can read "United States of America" above the eagle. They sort of look like $20 St. Gauden LOL.

Oh dear, livingwater! Perhaps you should contact the author or Popular Mechanics and let them know.

Very interesting and thank you for sharing.

Even if the stock photo has issues.
