Labeled as “a discovery that will rewrite history,” 24 perfectly preserved bronze Roman statues have been discovered in Tuscany. The statues decorated a bath and date to between 2nd century BCE and 1st century CE. Some of them are preserved so well, archaeologists can read the inscriptions of prominent local Etruscans (the pre-Roman people of the region). Archaeologists also found other important religious items and over 6000 bronze, silver, and gold coins.
Here is a link to a video on the statues. While the video is in Italian, it does provide a close up look at the statues and other finds from the site:
