'''Treasure Chests''' were small boxes full of money, which could be found in a variety of locations. Though most were found in [[Bank]]s or under [[Guards|armed guard]], they could also be located alone on various rooftops or streets. The money they contained could range from one hundred and fifty to a few thousand florins.

The chests could either be red or gold, with the latter usually containing more florins. When viewed through the [[Animus]], they flashed unevenly with white, and could be seen most easily with [[Eagle Vision]].

Chests scattered inside cities were usually unguarded, or protected by one or two guards. Those outside of cities, such as in the [[Appennine Mountains]], were not guarded. In [[Rome]], though not usually directly guarded, people opening chests on rooftops would be attacked by any nearby patrolling [[Archers]] or [[Crossbowmen]].<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref><ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

Banks contained two chests, and were always guarded by three or four men outside the doors, although more guards usually patrolled nearby. [[Rebecca Crane]] once stated that although all families owned banks, most of them were owned by the [[House of Pazzi|Pazzi family]], and that breaking into them would be worthwhile.<ref name="AC2" />

[[Art Merchants]] also sold treasure maps that marked the locations of the chests in the entire city, or in one of its districts. They cost between 150ƒ-395ƒ in [[Florence]], 150ƒ in the Apennine Mountains, 285ƒ in [[Monteriggioni]], 175ƒ-240ƒ in [[Tuscany]], 235ƒ-260ƒ in [[Romagna]], and 485ƒ-995ƒ in [[Venice]].<ref name="AC2" />

==Valuable items==

Aside from money, chests found in Rome could also contain a variety of [[Trading Items|trade items]]. These could later be sold to shops, or [[Shop Quests|traded]] for other valuable items or equipment. They could vary between common objects, such as jars of leeches, or valuable jewelry.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

Chests could also be found in the many [[Lairs of Romulus]]. Aside from money and valuable items, one special chest per lair could be found in the lair's shrine, which contained one of six keys that unlocked the door to the [[Followers of Romulus]]' [[Armor of Brutus|treasure]].<ref name="Brotherhood" />

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', there are 330 treasure chests spread over the 4 cities and mountains, as well as two hidden chests in each [[Secret Locations|secret location]].
*Investing in the Monteriggioni Well, Mine and Church through the [[Villa Auditore]] will grant the player access to two additional chests in each of the three locations.
**There are also two chests in [[Ezio's room]], in the top floor of the villa. These chests, despite being golden, only contain 200-600 florins.
*The amount of florins in each chest increases with every new city the player travels to, probably due to the increasing cost of [[weapons]] and [[armor]].
*In the ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' memories "[[Escape From Debt]]" or "[[Follow The Money]]," two golden treasure chests may be found in [[Francesco Troche]]'s house.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', Treasure Chests may also contain bomb ingredients.
