In Plovdiv, archaeologists unearthed more than 500 coins from different eras, as well as gold ingots for making jewelry. The finds are from works at the foot of the Old City near the grand Eastern Gate of ancient Philippopolis.
During the Roman era, there were commercial premises there and before that artisan premises existed. There are no data about housing, Desislava Davidova, the head of the study, told Radio Plovdiv. "The coins found are mostly bronze and prove that the area has been inhabited for more than 2,500 years. They are subject to restoration and I can't tell if there are only bronze coins, as sometimes silver coins have a thick patina and are difficult to identify in the field. The gold found was definitely not for coin production. It was probably intended to be turned into some kind of jewelry," Desislava Davidova says.
