[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 22633195, member: 5682"][ATTACH=full]1545018[/ATTACH] [B]If true, things are getting crazy. Very few details from this article, however, to know how these coins were obtained: [/B] Peru on March 9 returned a collection of 73 Roman coins, some from the second and fourth centuries, to the Italian embassy in Lima, the Foreign Ministry said. The coins were seized from a Peruvian woman in 2021 at the international airport in Cusco, a tourist hub and gateway to the world renown Machu Picchu Inca citadel. Peru’s deputy foreign minister, Ignacio Higueras, told reporters that the collection of 73 coins “are part of Italian heritage.” Higueras said the “valuable collection is made up of 42 coins from the imperial Roman era of the second and fourth centuries.” “The coins have great historical and cultural value,” D’sibio told AFP, also praising international cooperation in “the fight against illicit trafficking in cultural assets.” [URL]https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/peru-returns-seized-roman-coins-to-italy-181492[/URL] [MEDIA=youtube]SqorF5EKhmo[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]
