Exceptionally well-preserved bronze statues from a sanctuary in San Casciano in Tuscany provide an insight into healing rituals and religious practices at the transition from Etruscan to Roman culture. The statues found in 2022 are a find of the century and an archaeological stroke of luck! This is because ancient bronze figurines - especially in such large quantities – are extremely rare.
