The discovery of 24 statues thought to be around 2,300 years old may 'rewrite history', an expert says.
Italian archaeologists have unearthed 24 beautifully preserved bronze statues in Tuscany believed to date back to ancient Roman times.
Depicting Hygieia, Apollo and other Greco-Roman gods, the figures are said to be around 2,300 years old.Most of the statues - which were found submerged beneath the baths alongside around 6,000 bronze, silver and gold coins - date to between the 2nd Century BC and the 1st Century AD. The era marked a period of "great transformation in ancient Tuscany" as the area transitioned from Etruscan to Roman rule, the Italian culture ministry said.
