guy Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 (edited) The Arade River in Southern Portugal has been a rich site for Roman excavation. Past finds include an intact ancient Roman wine amphora found in the river, for example. Recently, numerous new discoveries have been uncovered by metal detection, including this golden ear ring above. These findings suggest a robust shipping and trade in the area. https://www.newsweek.com/roman-gold-ring-bronze-age-axe-more-2200-river-finds-1904491 Below is a picture of the intact Roman amphora found at the Arade River a few years back. It probably dates to the late Roman Republic. https://www.sulinformacao.pt/en/2018/07/primeira-anfora-romana-do-tipo-dressel-1-intacta-recuperada-por-arqueologos-em-portugal-foi-recolhida-no-arade/ Edited May 27 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
