More than 1,300 pounds of bronze Roman coins, dating to the 3rd century A.D., were found by construction workers digging a trench in Spain.

The ancient coins were found in 19 amphoras, a type of Roman jug, in Tomares, a town in Seville province.

Workers had been digging a ditch to install electricity to a park when they came across the incredible find.
