As a national museum, MAN gathers material from many regions and periods. It should be used as a map of types and comparisons rather than as evidence for one archaeological context.
Display and Main Materials
Iberian sculpture, Celtiberian material, coins, inscriptions, Roman pottery, mosaics, everyday objects and Late Antique material deserve attention. Sections showing provincial culture before and after incorporation into Rome are especially valuable.
