Chapter 546: Good Luck Bursts

A large wheeled crane of at least 50 tons stood on the pier, and there were two minivans next to it, but there were no container flatbed trailers in sight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The island is such a big place, and the unloaded containers are stacked directly on the side of the dock: there is no other place to put them, and there is no need for flatbed trucks at all.

To the south, near the "mountains", there is also an excavator and several small pieces of engineering equipment, and according to the previous report, a warehouse is being built.

Before, it was only an entertainment resort island, so the facilities here are enough. Before I came, I also said that the renovation was completed, but now I find that it is still not enough, so I can only add more facilities.

After the yacht was moored, as soon as Zhang Nan got on the dock, he said to his four bodyguards and Jamie, Cuenca and others: "Hard work!"

The lead Captain Li Panfeng and Jamie Bostwick certainly said that it was not hard, and the bodyguards and crew had a good journey, from the South China Sea all the way to the eastern Mediterranean, and it felt good to see the scenery all the way to the Red Sea.

In particular, the temporary crew members from the Huaxia Navy have never experienced such a voyage before, with high wages and good living conditions, although they are very busy with work, they still feel like a trip.

And Captain Jamie had already run on an ocean-going cargo ship, and this trip could only be regarded as a completion of his own job.

There are many things near the wharf, but it is not chaotic, Zhang Nan originally wanted to ask about the unloading situation first, but found that the expressions of everyone on the wharf were a little strange.

"What's the problem?"

asked: It shouldn't be a bad thing, everyone had a little smile on their faces, and their attention seemed to be focused on Zack.

On the other hand, Captain Philip and Thomas, who had just arrived on the island, were also a little puzzled by this situation: they left the island this morning to pick up the boss in Ibiza, could it be that there was something special on the island in the past half a day?

Hearing Zhang Nan's culture, the black buddy immediately said: "Boss, it's a good thing! The year before last, when you bought the manor on Long Island, you casually dug out a few cans of gold coins and earned all the money you used to buy the manor."

At that time, the brothers felt that you were a man of God, and it was right to follow you. ”

Zhang Nan listened to this somewhat nonsensical words, his mind suddenly turned around, and asked, "Did you find something?"

Zach laughed and said, "Yes, boss, just an hour ago." ”

As he spoke, he took out a handful of small handfuls from his coat pocket, a dozen golden, silver-gray coins.

"Ancient Roman or Greek gold coins, I don't know how many, may be more than you can buy this island. ”

At this point, the guys who arrived on the same boat basically had a "slump" sound in their hearts!

Many people here know that Zhang Nan dug up Morgan gold coins when he bought a house, and a few people know the magical experience of buying a farm in Britain to dig up ancient Roman treasures.

As for the treasures hidden by Hitler and the little devils in the Philippines and Berchtesgaden, it is the result of a comprehensive investigation and a treasure map.

This time, I simply bought a private island to hide the treasure, but I dug up the treasure again, is there any reason for heaven?!

Zhang Nan took the coin in Zack's hand, exactly half gold and half silver, a total of twelve.

The gold coins are very small, one circle smaller than the five cents copper coins common in China 20 years later, only seven or eight grams at most.

Silver coins, on the other hand, are basically the size of a later piece of steel and are much heavier than gold coins.

"Where did you find it?"

Zhang Nan: Don't look at it, don't ask.

"It's on the excavator's side, leveling the foundation, and on the hill side, you have to dig up some rocks. As a result, after digging about 1 meter down, a crack in the rock 40 or 50 centimeters wide was exposed, like a natural cave, and several gold coins were found on the opening.

Wen Dong went down to take a look, it was more than three meters deep, very long, and the bottom was basically full of gold and silver coins, at least tens of thousands, and a small number of strange things.

We didn't touch the things below, and the 12 were all found in the hole and hanging in the crack in the middle stone. ”

Even Zhang Nan feels incredible!

Could it really be that he was so lucky that he hunted gold bricks in South Africa, and this time he bought a small island and gave away a treasure trove of ancient Roman gold coins?

Take a closer look at the coins in your hand...... Zhang Nan said: "This is not a Roman gold coin, it is the currency of Carthage. ”

The first gold coin has a profile of a woman's head on one side and a standing horse on the back, which is the currency of the Carthaginian Empire, which predates the common Roman currency.

"This is supposed to be a gold-silver alloy Carthage coin issued between 290 and 270 B.C., with a gold content of up to 70% and a little white.

On the obverse is a portrait of the goddess Carthage, Tennet, I remember that this currency was issued after the Greek power withdrew from Sicily, and before the outbreak of the First Buno War between Carthage and Rome, which should be the golden age of Carthage, and most of the Mediterranean Sea was the territory and trade area of the Carthaginians. ”

Ancient Rome became the earlier Carthage, a once-glorious seafaring empire that was mysterious and distant to Westerners like Thomas, because the Romans destroyed almost all the cities, buildings and culture of Carthage on the Mediterranean coast after defeating Carthage!

Carthage, everyone's interest is so big that they can temporarily throw aside more than 4,000 tons of treasures.

This is the owner's private island, and although it is not "sovereign", the Spanish government has no administrative jurisdiction: no one can come here without permission!

The five gold coins on the bottom look similar to the previous one, but the lines seem to be more rigid and look the same.

These coins may have been issued a little earlier, between 320 and 270 BC. Zhang Nan handed a few of them to Guan Xingquan, "This goddess Tenit has an extra wheat ear crown on her head, which should be made by different rulers in different periods or different city-states."

Carthage's coin-making techniques are generally higher than those of later ancient Rome, especially the refined depiction of horses, which is particularly vivid, just like the current mechanism coins with clear lines, and is now a popular breed sought after by collectors of ancient coins in the world.

Many of the coins of ancient Rome were not rounded, the rounded corners were cracked, and the lines could not be compared with Carthaginian currency, especially gold coins.

The only downside is that some of the gold coins seem to have a poor gold content, for unknown reasons. ”

"How much is it worth now?"

It was Boss Guan who asked.

"Two or three thousand dollars, at least. The Romans returned almost all the coins they had seized from Carthage, which were much more expensive than those issued by the Romans. ”

How did Zhang Nan know so clearly?

Since digging up the treasure of Hocson in England, I have bought a lot of professional books to supplement the knowledge of ancient Western currency, which will be used to show off.

In addition to the gold coins, five of the other six silver coins were of a similar style and were also related to horses.

Zhang Nan took one of them and said: "These are not Carthaginian, nor are they Roman currencies, they are the fairies and carriage coins of the first state called Syracuse on the island of ancient Greek Sicily, if I remember correctly, the issuance time should be between 317 and 289 BC, which belongs to the same era as these Carthage coins."

The person on the front is called the fairy Aresusa, and the inscription is in Greek, meaning the ancient city of Syra. ”

The fairy is surrounded by four dolphins, and the reverse of the silver coin depicts a scene of a beautiful racing carriage, "This also has something to do with the Olympic Games, which were once one of the most popular sports in the ancient Greek Olympic Games, and the contestants had to spend a lot of money to breed horses, so this competition was either a city-state king or a nobleman."

In the history of Syracuse, there was a king who won the championship in the ancient Olympic carriage competition, and the scene of the carriage race on the back of the currency should be a little commemorative. ”

The other four coins are similar in appearance, but with greater wear and a slightly different style, "these are supposed to be earlier, probably early four drachmas from before 465 BC....."

As for the sixth silver coin, I'm sorry, Zhang Nan told everyone: I don't know!
