File Photo: Gogo Lobato/AFPA treasure of gold and silver ancient Roman coins has been found at a mining site in Huelva, southern Spain. The discovery is of "incalculable value and a milestone in the archeology of this mining area," according to the archeologists from Atalaya Mining, the company running the mine who found it. Experts believe the owner of the coins would have been an influential resident of the ancient Roman settlement of Orium. The excavations are being funded by the local province and led by Juan Aurelio Pérez Macías, from the University of Huelva, according to El Pais. The find adds to the discovery of 600 Roman coins in Sevilla in April 2016.
