Dig In Athens Reveals Ancient Treasures - Jan 2007
Topic: Treasure Finds
Never before seen Roman coins bearing the head of Brutus, along with a fabulous hoard of more than 50,000 other artifacts were recently unearthed during excavations in Athens while preparing to build the New Acropolis Museum, which findings have provided a new window into the ancient civilization of Greece.

Some of the treasures, such as an ornate statuette of the eastern deity Zeus Heliopolites, are unique — providing evidence of a cult of a god hitherto unknown — and extraordinarily well-preserved.

The excavations have brought to light a densely built area of ancient Athens inhabited from the golden age of the 5th century BC to the mid-Byzantine period in the 12th century AD.
