In 2018, archaeologists unearthed a soapstone vessel beneath an abandoned theater, revealing a treasure trove of hundreds of 5th Century AD gold Roman coins speculated to be worth millions of euros.

Discovered during renovations of the Cressoni theater, the coins were neatly stacked in a Roman-era amphora, shedding light on a turbulent period in Italian history likely hidden during the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
