Archaeologists in Carlisle, northwest England, discovered ancient artifacts dating back about 2,000 years, including coins, hair adornments, and
more than 30 semiprecious stones in a Roman bathhouse in late 2022.Images captured and
posted to Instagram by photographer Anna Giecco show some of the discoveries made at Carlisle Cricket Club, where excavations have been
ongoing since 2017.The decorated stones – also known as intaglios – likely fell out of bathers’ signet rings and were lost down the drains, archaeologist Frank Giecco
told the
BBC in late January.A further dig was planned at the site in May of 2023, Frank Giecco said. Credit: Anna Giecco via Storyful
