by Nate Wooley | February 8, 2013 11:32 am A golden wreath from
ancient times has been unearthed by men digging a subway tunnel
in Greece. It’s the ninth time that workers on this particular
line have found such a wreath, reports Discovery.com. The
workers were digging a new set of tunnels in Thessaloniki when
the latest wreath was discovered. The wreath was found in a tomb
— described as “box-like” and “Macedonian” — on the head of a
body. It has been dated from the Early Hellenistic Era about
2,300 years ago. Made of gold, the wreath features olive leaves.
Such wreaths were usually reserved for royalty or the very
wealthy. This wreath is the first to be found since eight were
discovered in a woman’s tomb in 2008. In all, more than 23,000
artifacts have been dug up since work on the subway tunnel
began. Source URL: http://investorplace.com/2013/02/gold-wreath-
