This era, filled with remarkable art and historical events, offers a glimpse into ancient civilizations that shaped our modern world. One notable artifact from this period is the Roman memento mori mosaic, serving as a poignant reminder of mortality. Its intricate design urges contemplation on life's fleeting nature and encourages us to seize each moment. Traveling across continents, we encounter the Chavin Stele from Peru.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases Sri Lanka's mastery in constructing magnificent stupas that inspire awe even today. The Great Frieze of Pergamon Altar transports us further into antiquity. Dating back to 180-159 BC, it narrates mythological tales through intricately carved reliefs—a testament to Hellenistic artistry at its finest. Journeying through jewelry craftsmanship, a finger ring adorned with floral inlay captures our attention.
