A coin hoard was found in Livorno, Italy. It appears to be dated to the Roman civil war between Sulla and the Marians in 82 BCE.

Quote

The coins were discovered by a member of an archaeological group in a newly-cut area of forest northeast of the city of Livorno in Tuscany. Archaeological investigations revealed the earliest coins dated from 157 or 156 B.C., while the most recent were from 83 or 82 B.C.
