Answers: What are five famous Greco-Roman treasures and how likely are they to be found?

• Alaric's treasure
• Temple Menorah
• Gold of Tolosa
• Copper Scroll
• Artemision wreck

What it concludes

• Alaric's treasure given a Findability rating of 1 Indiana because searching the bed of the Busento is extremely difficult.
• The Temple Menorah given a Findability rating of 1 Indiana as it is likely destroyed and untested since the time of Justinian.
• The gold of Tolosa given a Findability rating of 1 and a half Indiana because at least some submerged treasure is likely still waiting.
• The Copper Scroll given a Findability rating of 2 Indiana because its clues are too vague for precise identification despite the discovery of the scroll.
• The Artemision wreck given a Findability rating of 3 Indiana because the ship must still exist buried under silt off Euboea.
