I am impressed by the little figurines, with a lot of details in them. Romans really had the standards :)
It can be said that after the Romans civilisation took a step backwards. Greetings @wnfdiary.
Probably, yes
It is surprising how many Islamic and Christian coins are in the museum. Any histories can be given great importance. These are very beautiful and historical artifacts, you have described them very well.
It is clear that in this city many had holes in their pockets! :)
Thank you for your nice comment.
