Roman-German Museum and its collection

Roman-German Museum
Source

The Romano-Germanic Museum (Roman-German Museum) is an archaeological museum in Cologne that holds and exhibits Roman artifacts from the Roman settlement of Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, the Roman settlement on which the city of Cologne is built. The museum can be seen as an archaeological site, since the Roman-German Museum is located on the site of a Roman town villa, with a Dionysus mosaic still intact. Furthermore, the museum exhibits large collections of Roman glass from funerals and burials.
