Under everyone's fierce and reluctant gaze, Ye Tian took the Conqueror's Rod back and put it in the golden box.
Immediately afterwards, he put the gold box into the backpack behind him, only in this way he was relieved.
Following his actions, a light sigh immediately sounded on the scene, and every voice was full of envy and even jealousy.
Especially the few Italians who were on the scene felt painful and mad with jealousy. Everyone's eyes were red and bloody.
Next, Ye Tian discussed with you the turbulent period of ancient Roman history in BC, speculated on the true image of that period of ancient Roman history, and the reason why the rod of conqueror was hidden here.
Of course, everyone's discussion and speculation are still at the stage of conjecture, and there is not enough evidence to support it.
But it didn't matter, they soon found the corresponding evidence in this underground secret room to support this kind of speculation and conjecture that was completely different from the existing "History of Rome".
When everyone's emotions calmed down a bit, Ye Tian led them to the deeper part of the secret room.
Behind the bronze bust of Caesar and close to the wall behind, there are two sculptures of more than one meter tall, several large or small boxes, and other things.
Before going closer, Ye Tian first observed the situation here to prevent any accidents from happening.
After confirming his safety, he began to clean up a bronze statue in front of him.
With his actions, this ancient Roman sculpture that had been hidden deep underground for more than two thousand years finally revealed its true face.
The figure carved by this bronze statue is Gaius Mallor who built this underground chamber.
Due to the long-term isolation of this underground chamber, the bronze statue of Mallor is almost perfect, with only a thin layer of green patina on the surface of the statue.
In addition, on the base of this bronze statue is engraved with Mallor's full name, the time when the statue was created, and the name of the engraver, a famous engraver in ancient Rome.
Compared with the first three-headed Confederate statue discovered before, the creation of this bronze statue of Mallor is even older, but the sculpture style is closer to ancient Roman sculpture art than ancient Greek sculpture.
There is no doubt that this bronze sculpture by Mallor is another valuable and top antique cultural relic, and it is also one of the oldest and best-preserved ancient Roman sculptures found so far.
After earnestly admiring the bronze sculpture by Mallor for a while, Ye Tian walked to the other sculpture next to him and began to clean the dust and moss on the sculpture.
It is also a bronze sculpture of a human figure, which is only a little smaller than that of Mallorca's sculpture. It is also preserved almost perfectly, and the carving skills are also very good. It is obviously a masterpiece.
The figure carved by him is exactly the life and death enemy of Mario and the first lifelong dictator Lucius Sura in the history of ancient Rome.
He pioneered the Roman military dictatorship and laid the foundation for the establishment of the Roman Empire. He is an extremely important figure in Roman history and Western history, and his status is very high!
The appearance of the bronze statue of Sura was somewhat unexpected to everyone, and everyone felt a little surprised.
You know, Sura is not only the life and death enemy of Mario, but also almost killed Caesar. After Mario died of illness, it was under his persecution that Caesar had to flee Rome in a hurry.
And here is the basement chamber built by Mallor, which later belonged to Caesar and his cronies. No one thought that the statue of Sura could be seen here.
While everyone was surprised, they also cheered for this discovery.
Everyone here knows that this bronze statue of Sura is another invaluable top antique cultural relic. Its discovery will surely cause a sensation.
If you analyze it from the perspective of historical status, this bronze statue of Sula is even more valuable than the bronze statue of Mallorca!
After cleaning up and inspecting the two bronze statues, everyone turned their attention to the old boxes. Everyone was wondering what exactly was in those boxes.
Soon, the first box was opened by Ye Tian. To be precise, it should be said to have collapsed.
As soon as Ye Tian started to clean the dust and moss attached to the box, the old wooden box suddenly collapsed and fell apart.
The things in that box also scattered out and appeared before everyone's eyes, making everyone dizzy.
It was a box full of ancient Roman gold and silver coins, and most of them were extremely rare antique coins, each of which was very valuable and extremely difficult to see on the market, but there was a full box hidden here.
In addition to a large number of ancient Roman gold and silver coins, this wooden box also contains some gold utensils, such as wine glasses, tableware, etc., which are also valuable.
The appearance of this box of ancient Roman gold and silver coins and other gold utensils had long been expected by everyone, so everyone was not too surprised!
How could the ancient Roman noble or general who hid antique artifacts such as the Caesar's Sabre and the Rod of the Conqueror not use this place to hide a large number of gold and silver treasures?
Since everyone has seen too many priceless antiques and experienced too many great surprises before, facing this box of amazingly valuable gold and silver treasures, everyone can deal with it calmly!
Next, Ye Tian and the others went to the next box, which was slightly smaller.
As in the previous situation, when Ye Tian was about to clean up the wooden box, the fragile wooden box that had existed for more than two thousand years also collapsed instantly.
What appeared in front of everyone was seven or eight marble slabs engraved with ancient Latin and various exquisite patterns, of various sizes and specifications.
In addition, there should have been some sheepskin rolls in this wooden box.
It's just that because the age is too old, the sheepskin rolls have long rotted and were completely decomposed by microorganisms. Only black marks are left on the inner wall of the wooden box and the slates, which look like patches!
On the stone slabs that were fortunately preserved, Ye Tian saw the Roman eagle emblem symbolizing the Roman army at a glance, as well as the names of Caesar and Mark Antony.
As for other ancient Latin scripts, he didn't know, and naturally he didn't know the meaning of those scripts.
The Bishop of Kent and several other people who were familiar with ancient Latin, who were also on the scene, trembled with excitement at the moment they saw the slabs, and almost rushed directly on the old slabs.
Seeing this scene, as long as you are not an idiot, you will instantly understand how valuable those slabs are ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ that is the history book of ancient Rome!
By studying the ancient Latin engraved on those slabs, the Bishop of Kent quickly concluded that this treasure was buried by Mark Anthony!
In other words, after Caesar obtained the building that used to stand above this secret room from Mallor, he gave it to his henchman, Mark Anthony!
After Caesar was assassinated in the Senate, Mark Anthony used some means to get Caesar's relics, including the conqueror's rod and saber, into his own hands.
Before he escaped from the Senate, disguised as a slave and escaped from Rome, he hid these Caesar's relics and the statues of the first three-headed alliance, as well as a large number of gold and silver treasures, all in this underground secret room!
To be safe, and to avoid suspicion from others, especially to avoid suspicion from Octavian!
After confirming the safety of Rome, Mark Antony returned to Rome again. As soon as he came back, he completely sealed the underground chamber and the secret passage above to ensure safety.
He also left a few stone slabs, which recorded this **** history. At the same time, he also left a lot of historical documents from that period, that is, the completely rotten sheepskin scrolls!
When doing all this, how did Mark Anthony know that this one of his own was more than two thousand years!
Until today, Ye Tian and the others discovered this secret room in the basement, and these inestimable Caesar relics and other antique relics in the secret room were able to be seen again!
As the bishop of Kent translated the ancient Latin on the slate, the mystery that had been perplexing everyone was finally solved!
This amazing treasure that has been buried in the ground for more than two thousand years can be regarded as having an official name, that is, ‘Mark Anthony’s Treasure! ’
