Abstract

The article highlights the legal trial of Félix Biancamaria in Marseille, France, accused of attempting to sell a rare gold plate associated with approximately 1,400 ancient Roman gold aureii coins, previously sold illegally. The Lava Treasure, discovered in the late 20th century, resurfaces as legal debates focus on whether the find, including the gold plate, was discovered at sea or on land, impacting ownership rights.
