Where in the world are we? End of the Bronze Age  (about 1000 BCE) Villanovans occupied northern and westering regions of Italy.  The central region was home to people who spoke what is closest to Latin today.

The object was stamped similar to sterling today -- showing the purity of silver 7. The object was displayed in the homes of their wealthy owner, who was also highly educated, having refined taste! Byzantine Empire -- - Constantinople located at the mouth of the Mediterranean and Black Seas - perf...
