It’s September 2018 and in Como, Italy, construction work is underway. And on the site of the 19th-century Cressoni Theater, an excavation reveals something incredible – a real-life treasure trove buried in the soil just waiting to be discovered. And inside an ancient jug lies a haul that could be worth a fortune.

Aachen Cathedral, Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Europe
Aachen Cathedral, frequently referred to as the Imperial Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic church in Aachen, Germany. The church is the oldest cathedral in northern Europe and was known as the Royal Church of St. Mary at Aachen during the Middle Ages. For 595 years, from 936 to 1531, the Aachen chapel was the church of coronation for 30 German kings and 12 queens. The church is the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Aachen. Charles the Great (Charlemagne) began the construction of the Palatine Chapel around 796, along with the building of the rest of the palace structures. The construction is credited to Odo of Metz. It suffered a large amount of damage around 881, by the Northmen and was restored in 983. In the 14th and 15th centuries, Gothic additions were added, including the choir in 1355. It was restored again in 1881. The core of the cathedral is the Carolingian Palatine Chapel, which is notably small in comparison to the later additions. In order to sustain the enormous flow of pilgrims in the Gothic period a choir hall was built: a two-part Capella vitrea (glass chapel) which was consecrated on the 600th anniversary of Charlemagne's death. A cupola, several other chapels and a steeple were also constructed at later dates. In 1978, it was one of the first 12 items to make the entry into the UNESCO list of world heritage sites, as the first German and one of the first three European historical ensembles. The cathedral uses two distinct architectural styles. First, the Palatine Chapel of Charlemagne, modeled after San Vitale at Ravenna and considered to be Carolingian-Romanesque. Secondly, the choir in the Gothic style. In the western gallery on the lower floor, opposite the choir, the Throne of Charlemagne is to be found, which has been the object of new investigations in the past decades. The original Carolingian throne came from the spolia of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The appearance of the throne and its location in the Palatine Chapel did not change with the passage of centuries. Between 936 and 1531, thirty one German kings ascended to this throne after their anointment and coronation at the Altar of Mary. The Westwork (western facade) of the cathedral is of Carolingian origin, flanked by two stair-towers. It is a two-story building, completed by a porch from the 18th century at the west end.
The bronze leaves attached to this porch, the Wolfstür (Wolf's Door) weigh 43 hundredweight altogether (cf. with this the Lousberg saga). The main entrance to the Cathedral, the door was cast in Aachen around 800 and was located between the westwork and the octogon in the so-called hexadecagon up to 1788. The portal was restored in 1924. Each leaf is divided into eight rectangles - a number which had religious symbolism in Christianity, as a symbol of Sunday, the day of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and also of perfection (as did twelve, also) and can be found in the measurements of the Palatine Chapel over and over again. These boxes were framed by decorative strips, which are made of egg-shaped decorations. The egg was considered a symbol of life and fertility from antiquity. In Christian belief it was embued with the even wider symbolism of Eternal Life. The door-rings in the shape of lions' heads are wreathed by 24 (i.e. two time twelve or three times eight) acanthus scrolls again to be understood at the deepest level through numerology. The Wolfstür's imitation of the shape of the ancient Roman temple door signifies Charlemagne's claim, to have established a New Rome in Aachen with the Palatine Chapel as the distinctive monumental building. In the forehall, there is a bronze sculpture of a bear, which was probably made in the tenth century, i.e. in Ottonian times. Opposite it is a bronze pine cone with 129 perforated scales, which stands 91 cm high (including its base); its date is controversial and ranges from the 3rd to the tenth century. Its base is clearly Ottonian and includes an inscription written in Leonine hexameter, which refers to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers of Mesopotamia. According to one view, the pine cone would originally have served as a waterspout on a fountain and would been placed in the atrium of the Palatine chapel in Carolingian times. The upper level is characterised by an exceptionally fine brick western wall. Inside, it bulges outward, while the outside bulges inwards, so that the Carolingian west wall can be seen as a convex- concave bulge.
Roman Era Theatre Uncovered in Jerusalem's Old City
Jerusalem is one of the most excavated cities in the world, and archaeologists have uncovered 7000 year old stone houses, an Egyptian amulet bearing the name of Thutmose III, and what could be the world's first landfill. Monday, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced finding the first known Roman-era theatre in Jerusalem's Old City, a unique 1,800-year-old structure next to the Western Wall. Faith Lapidus has details.

Hiker finds rare, nearly 2,000-year-old Roman gold coin in northern Israel - המטבע הנדיר שנמצא בגליל
A 24-karat gold coin that was minted in Rome in 107 A.D. and bears the portrait of the emperor “Augustus Deified” after it was found by an Israeli hiker the previous week in the eastern Galilee before being handed to the Israeli authorities in Jerusalem. This coin is part of a series of coins minted by Trajan as a tribute to the emperors that preceded him.
Israeli hiker finds 'second of kind' coin.
An Israeli hiker has found a Roman coin that is almost 2,000 years old and only the second of its kind found in the world, authorities say.
The coin, from 107 A.D., bears the image of Emperor Augustus but was minted by Emperor Trajan.
The only other example of such a coin is held in the British Museum.
The hiker, Laurie Rimon, will be awarded a certificate of appreciation for good citizenship, Israel's antiquities authority says.
Ms Rimon, a member of the Kefar Blum kibbutz, was hiking with friends in the eastern Galilee when she discovered a shiny object in the grass.
The group's guide then contacted the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), who arrived within two hours.
Ms Rimon then handed over the find, but said it was not easy parting with the coin.
מטבע נדיר של קיסר רומי משנת 107 התגלה בגליל
על המטבע העשוי זהב מוטבעת דמותו של הקיסר אוגוסטוס, שהוטבע על ידי הקיסר טריאנוס. מטבע זה, נוצר על פי הערכות בשנת 107 לספירה, וככל הנראה הוטבע במסגרת סדרת מטבעות נוסטלגיות שהקדיש טריאנוס לקיסרי רומא שקדמו לו
Sensationsfund in Israel: Seltene römische Goldmünze entdeckt
Eine Wanderin hat im Nordosten Israels eine seltene römische Goldmünze gefunden. Es handelt sich um das zweite bekannte Exemplar der Prägung, wie die israelische Altertumsbehörde mitteilte. Ihr Gegenstück liegt im Britischen Museum in London.
Beim Wandern in Israel hat eine Frau eine seltene römische Goldmünze gefunden. „Diese Münze, geprägt 107 nach Christus in Rom, ist weltweit sehr selten“, sagte der Münzexperte Danny Syon von der israelischen Altertumsbehörde (IAA).
Obwohl sie von Kaiser Trajan geprägt worden sei, zeige sie den knapp hundert Jahre zuvor verstorbenen Kaiser Augustus - offenbar war die Münze Bestandteil einer Nostalgie-Serie. „Die Münze veranschaulicht die Präsenz der römischen Armee vor knapp 2000 Jahren in Galiläa“, erklärte der Leiter der IAA-Münzabteilung Donald Ariel.
Goldmünzen waren extrem wertvoll
Goldmünzen aus der Zeit Trajans seien jedoch sehr selten: Den jüngsten Fund eingerechnet, seien in Israel erst drei Münzen dieses Kaisers entdeckt worden. Eine der Münzen liegt in London im Britischen Museum. Römische Goldmünzen werden sehr viel seltener gefunden als solche aus Silber und Bronze, weil bereits ihr zeitgenössischer Wert sehr hoch war.
