In the III century, a diverse array of art and artifacts emerged, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of that time. From religious figures to sports enthusiasts, this era encapsulated a wide range of interests and influences. One such representation is St. Anthony the Great, depicted in a chromolitho as the patron saint of basket makers. His image serves as a reminder of the importance placed on craftsmanship during this period. The Seated Ballplayer, crafted from ceramic between the 1st century BC and 3rd century CE, offers insight into the popularity of sports even back then. This ancient figure seems frozen in time, forever engaged in an intense game. Another seated figure from this era is Bodhisattva Shakyamuni carved out of dark grey schist around the 3rd century AD. The serene expression on his face reflects deep spiritual contemplation and resonates with Buddhist teachings. Continuing with sports-themed artwork is the Standing Ballplayer made from ceramic during the same timeframe. This sculpture captures movement and athleticism while providing a glimpse into recreational activities enjoyed by people centuries ago. Moving away from athletics, we encounter representations of several popes from antiquity: Pope Sixtus II (258), Pope Fabien (236-250), and Pope Caius (293-296). These drawings offer glimpses into early Christian history and provide valuable insights into religious leadership at that time. A cosmetic palette dating back to the 2nd-3rd century AD showcases beauty practices prevalent during this period. Made from schist, it highlights how personal grooming has been valued throughout history. Portraits also played an essential role in capturing individuals' identities during this era. A marble depiction known as "Portrait of a man" believed to be Gallienus represents one such example dating back to the 3rd century AD. Busts were another popular form for portraiture during this period.
