The National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia values ancient Roman artifacts. This artifact called Necropoli della Cuccumella is a vase used for human ashes after death. The vase is made out of a thin bronze foil and metal. I learned that the horse represents power in the Etruscan culture. This artifact caught my attention because of its long-lasting quality. What an interesting historical artifact.
Pompeii was very hot and humid but had beautiful ancient architecture. The Great Theatre of Pompeii is an open arena used for entertainment events such as sports and performances. I can't imagine how many people would appear at this theatre. The benches and steps are so narrow. Romans built this theatre out of stone and soil. They would carve rocks to form the structure of the theatre. It's amazing how the theatre was able to last over the years because of the quality of the material.
