The San Casciano dei Bagni archaeological dig near Siena on Tuesday discovered a 2,000-year-old bronze statue in an ancient Tuscan thermal spring, experts say it will "rewrite history".
Thanks to the mud that protected them, the figurines were found in a perfect state of conservation. Alongside the figures were 5,000 coins in gold, silver and bronze, the ministry said.
As evidence of the importance of the find, the ministry announced the construction of a new museum in the area to house the antiquities.
