Off the west coast of Sardinia, scientists discovered a Roman treasure consisting of 30,000 to 50,000 coins. Those date to the beginning of the 4th century CE and they are largely made of bronze – Roman folles.
Folles were introduced at the end of the 3rd century CE, as part of a stabilization plan for the Roman economy, during the rule of Diocletian.
