Sculptures were necessary in ancient times since they symbolized everything from: divinity to elites or important figures, they normally represented emperors and/or their wives. Nowadays, many historical pieces are discovered every day that help to recreate the past or how people behaved. a particular civilization! The Roman civilization, along with the Egyptian one, is the most studied of all time for its technological advances and its warlike and social exploits! Visiting the Archaeological Museum of Mertola will help us understand a little more about the social aspects of the Romans who inhabited Portugal between the centuries: (I-IV).🧔🧠🕵️‍♀️👨‍💻

About the Archaeological Museum🙇‍♂️📚/ Sobre el Museo Arqueologico🧠🗿

The discoveries of the Roman relics were discovered in 1984, when analyzing all the pieces found, the scientists estimated that they were from the time of the Roman occupation in the city of Mertola between the 1st to the 4th century after Christ, the house where the objects is the city hall, however to preserve the original place a basement was built where it is believed that there were some Roman houses and it makes sense because in the excavations several objects of decorative or personal use such as jugs were found! The museum is free, you have access on weekdays and I invite you to visit it if you come to Portugal you will see objects that you have never seen before in such good condition as coins!📚🎨🚩👨‍🏫

Through the inscriptions on the stones we can identify the contact of the society with the religious, social and political world of the Romans, all those found in the city of Mertola or baptized by the Romans as: (Mytrilis) many were taken to Lisbon but remained the eight most interesting in the museum!

It is because of objects like these that it is worth visiting these museums, here you can see many tombstones with writings in Latin that tell a summary of the life of each person who was buried, in reality many thought that the Romans always burned the dead but they They practiced burial for many centuries. In reality, they had orders to take their dead outside the cities to avoid diseases or at least the humble class.🗿📚🧠

The city of Mertola was very important in Roman times because it occupied more than 65,000 square meters inhabited by different classes of Romans, it was a great military and commercial enclave! Many of the structures found date back to the 5th century and it was important for its location very close to the Guadiana River, who went directly to Hispania Cartaginensis, remembering that Portugal was Hispania Lusitania!🗿🧠

The house discovered, although all the doubts that arose to archaeologists are not clear, is believed to have two floors, one older than the other, it is believed that the lower one was from the 3rd century after Christ at the time of the crisis, the upper one seems be from the imperial era! Many thought it was a house of a person of high social status but it did not meet the requirements, so the archaeologists came to the conclusion that it belonged to an ordinary merchant.🗿🧠📚
La casa descubierta apesar que no estan claras todas las dudas que surgieron a los arqueologos se cree que poseia dos pisos, uno mas antiguo que otro se cree que el inferior era del siglo III despues de cristo en la epoca de la crisis, el superior parece ser de la epoca imperial! muchos pensaron que era una casa de un personaje de alto estatus social pero no cumple con los requisitos, asi que los arqueologos llegaron a la conclusion que pertenecio a un comerciante comun y corriente.👨‍💻🏛
