An ancient wreath made of gold has been unearthed during excavation work for the new subway system in Greece's second-largest city Thessaloniki.
According to archaeologists, the find was discovered on the site of an ancient cemetery.
Archaeologist Vassiliki Misailidou said the olive branch wreath made of gold was buried in a simple, box-shaped woman's grave dating to the late 4th or early 3rd century B.C., Construction Week Online said.
