(CNN) –Un grupo de arqueólogos de Livorno, Italia, está reconstruyendo un misterio que comenzó con un asombroso hallazgo.En noviembre de 2021, mientras practicaba senderismo en una zona despejada de un bosque toscano al noreste de Livorno, un miembro del Grupo Arqueológico Paleontológico de Livorno descubrió unas monedas brillantes en la tierra. Tras una inspección y excavación más minuciosas, los investigadores determinaron que el hallazgo incluía 175 denarios de plata romanos. Según el grupo, casi todas las monedas estaban en buen estado, por lo que se trataba de uno de los pocos tesoros de monedas antiguas encontrados intactos.Italia aclama el “excepcional” descubrimiento de unas antiguas estatuas de bronce en la ToscanaPero el descubrimiento suscitó una serie de preguntas: ¿de quién era el tesoro? ¿De quién lo escondían? ¿Y por qué no volvieron a por él?Las monedas datan de 157 o 156 a.C., y las más recientes en 83 o 82 a.C.

American Airlines, seeking new contract, vote to OK strike

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:46:35 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — Pilots at American Airlines voted to authorize a strike, a move that is highly unlikely to lead to an immediate walkout but puts more pressure on the airline to reach a new contract with the pilots’ union. The Allied Pilots Association said Monday that more than 96% of its 15,000 members voted, and among those who did, 99% favored authorizing the union to call for a strike. Federal law prohibits airline unions from striking without the tacit approval of a U.S. mediation board – a rare step that has not occurred in this case. Congress and the president can also act to prevent a strike if one appears imminent.Airline unions like to take strike votes, however, which they believe increase their leverage at the bargaining table. A spokeswoman for the airline said American is confident that it can reach an agreement with the union quickly.“We understand that a strike-authorization vote is one of the important ways pilots express their desire to get a deal done, and we respec...

New Michael Cunningham novel ‘Day’ scheduled for January

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:46:35 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The next novel from Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Cunningham, his first in a decade, is a family saga set in New York City before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Random House announced Monday that “Day” will be published in January. The novel takes place on three separate days in April, one each in the years 2019-2021.“I’ve definitely had moments over the last 10 years when I thought, well, if the world is in this kind of shape, who needs a novel?” Cunningham said in a statement. “But maybe it’s during hard times that the world needs novels more than ever.” The author calls the new book “a story about people dealing with something terrible, and it’s about survival, but more centrally it’s a story about love. I’m deeply interested in love — a sense of happiness, of living the life that one has hoped to live. And love is most interesting when it has survived terrible tests.”Cunningham’s previous novels, published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux, include “S...

Bulgaria’s chief prosecutor Ivan Geshev has escaped unscathed after a large explosion occurred Monday near his car which the authorities have described as a targeted attack on him.Attackers had placed a bomb at a bend in the road where traffic had to slow, Borislav Sarafov, head of the National Investigation Service, said according to local news site Mediapool.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig on Monday took a key step toward running for governor of New Hampshire, announcing an exploratory committee led by prominent fellow Democrats.Craig, the first female mayor of the state’s largest city, had announced earlier this year that she wouldn’t be seeking a fourth term. In a statement Monday, she said has tackled serious challenges while putting families and residents first, including adding jobs and affordable housing units and reducing school class sizes and violent crime.“As I’ve had discussions with local leaders across New Hampshire, it is increasingly clear that the same challenges we’re working to tackle in Manchester are seen in communities across the state,” she said. “As a mayor, I’ve collaborated with mayors and town and city officials to address these challenges – and we’ve made real progress. But there is a lack of support for cities and towns at the state level and I know we can do better.”The announcement comes a...
