The bronzes, which were found in a perfect state of conservation alongside 5,000 gold, silver and bronze coins, include entire figures of deities, individual body parts and organs. The ancient Greek god and goddess of health, Apollo and Igea, are depicted in some statues as well. The objects will give experts a better understanding of transition from the Etruscan civilization to the expansion of the Roman Empire, a period marked by war and conflict across central Italy between the second and first centuries B.C., dig coordinator Jacopo Tabolli said. » Subscribe to USA TODAY: http://bit.ly/1xa3XAh » Watch more on this and other topics from USA TODAY: https://bit.ly/38Tzndx » USA TODAY delivers current local and national news, sports, entertainment, finance, technology, and more through award-winning journalism, photos, videos and VR. #Discovery #Italy #Archeology
