There's probably lots more if they just keep digging.

(ANSA) - Florence, May 28 - Workmen inside Florence's 
courthouse have stumbled across a spiral column and hundreds 
of multicoloured fragments that experts believe may have 
belonged to a Roman temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess 
Isis.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>     Dating to the second century AD, the remains were 
discovered as the men dug a five by three metre hole, barely 
four metres deep, for a new water cistern for the 
courthouse's anti-incendiary system.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ansa.it/site/notizie/awnplus/english/news/2009-05-28_128361264.html">     ''These finds are of extraordinary importance,'' said 
Alessandro Palchetti, the archaeologist charged with 
overseeing the works in the courthouse by Florence's 
archaeology superintendency, who suspected something 
interesting might be uncovered because of the area's historic 
relevance.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ansa.it/site/notizie/awnplus/english/news/2009-05-28_128361264.html"><DIV>     The location of the temple is unknown, Palchetti said, 
but it is believed to have been built just outside the Roman 
part of the city, near the current courthouse building.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E28CA4E9-1C5A-4816-AF94-D34BB1A5BF06/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
