Found via The Explorator newsletter is this article on some medieval silver coins recently discovered in Bulgaria. -Editor
A total of three silver coins minted in the medieval Republic of Venice, an Italian city-state that was a major power in the Mediterranean, have been
discovered in very good condition by archaeologists excavating the fortress of Rusocastro in Southeast Bulgaria.
Earlier this week, the Regional Museum of History in the Black Sea city of Burgas which is conducting the digs, announced the discovery in Rusocastro of an
Ancient Roman bronze horse statuette, which is seen as evidence that the site had a previously unknown shrine at the time of the Roman Empire.
