Welcome to the Museum of Old Stuff! I will be giving you a short tour of late Roman Empire art, cause that's what they pay/tell me to do.
The first picture is of Mithras slaying the Sacred Bull. This marble sculpture was originally made around the 3rd century A.D.
The second picture is a bronze hand. This hand bears symbols of the Roman mystery cult of Dionysis.


The third picture shows a sculpture of Emperor Caraclla. It is a portrait bust in military garb.

The fourth picture shows a silver censer. It shows Gospel scenes
The fifth picture shows fragments of a statue of Constantine. This was made anytime from 313-330 A.D.
