The world of ancient Romans abounded in a number of amazing curiosities and information. The source of knowledge about the life of the Romans are mainly works left to us by ancient writers or discoveries. The Romans left behind a lot of strange information and facts that are sometimes hard to believe.
Roman remains and fragments of the belt found in the grave. The objects are dated to the 4th century CE. The discovery was made in the town of Niš (southern Serbia) – the ancient necropolis of Naissus. Both Christians and followers of traditional Roman deities were buried there.
An early Christian grave found in the Roman city of Sirmium (now Sremska Mitrovica, northern Serbia). The object is interesting because it still has colourful frescoes, showing references to Christianity.
Roman mosaic, which may be the oldest preserved image of Christ. The property comes from a Roman villa in county Dorset in southern England.
Roman children’s toy found in the child’s grave at the archaeological site of Više in the Roman city of Viminacium (around the city of Kostolac, in eastern Serbia).
Roman cameo collection. Carved images of Roman deities are visible on the stones. Dated to 2nd – 3rd century CE. Objects were found in the Roman city of Singidunum (now Belgrade, Serbia).
Roman denarius depicting Augustus (reigned in 27 BCE – 14 CE). The silver coin was minted around 19- 18 BCE, probably in one of the Spanish mints. On the obverse, we see the princeps with a wreath of oak leaves on the head (so-called corna civica). On the reverse, in turn, there is an embossed inscription DIVVS IVLIVS and a comet with eight rays and a tail of fire.
