A jar containing hundreds of intact gold coins dating back to the 5th century, worth millions of dollars, has just been found underneath a theater in Italy.

It was the Cressoni Theatre in Como, Italy. While workers were demolishing the structure, they accidentally discovered a "treasure" - a jar containing hundreds of gold coins. The treasure was immediately sent for testing to determine its age, before being sent to museums.

During the demolition of the theater, a group of workers accidentally discovered a jar containing hundreds of gold coins.

According to Mr. Luca Rinaldi, a local archaeologist, "We cannot yet say the exact value of the jar of gold coins. But this is truly a special discovery, of immeasurable value." It is known that the jar of coins is preserved in perfect condition.

The burial jar was perfectly preserved.

Meanwhile, Italian Culture Minister Alberto Bonisoli said: "This is a discovery that makes me very proud. We do not yet fully understand the cultural and historical importance of the newly discovered artifact. This area is a real treasure."

The Cressoni Theatre in Como was inaugurated in 1870. It was later converted into a cinema before officially closing in 1997. Before that, the local authorities had allowed the building to be demolished and converted into a luxury mansion.

Ancient Roman gold coins estimated to be worth millions of dollars.

Authorities are currently planning to suspend the demolition so that the archaeological team can explore and excavate the area./.
