Archaeologists have discovered a trove of ancient silver coins "hidden in a hole in the wall" on a Mediterranean island near Sicily, possibly during a pirate attack more than 2,000 years ago.
The coins were minted between 94 and 74 B.C. when the region was ruled by Rome, a republic at that time, according to a Sept. 2 Facebook post by Sicily's regional government. Some of the coins portray the profile of a human head, which has not yet been identified.
