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 Isis, the Egyptian goddess of motherhood and fertility who was later adopted by the Greeks and Romans.
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.
