the exh, was here(see website below) also famous for archaeology education at the university, for example they did much research at Raqqa in syria, all their work is lost and museum destroyed & sold. The have much nice reading about ancient subject Museum is now closed for full new rebuild, so will be great when finished next year, yes I am lucky to have this close to home...3 km away http://www.rmo.nl/english
Considering what the Romans did to the place in 146 BC, it's amazing any of these artifacts survived.
excellent! thanks for sharing those cyrrhus. a visit to a museum about 5 years ago got me heading down the path of collecting ancient coins.
