„When a ship sank to the bottom of the Rhine at Neupotz in Rhineland-Palati- nate in the 3rd Century A.D., it took with it over 700 kg of metal artifacts of the Roman period, precious and mundane. Thanks to an international reco- very effort, visitors to the Römisches Museum in Augsburg can soon immerse themselves in the history these artifacts show. The more than 1,000 objects of silver, bronze, tin, and iron dug up from the river are the largest single recovery of metallic articles dating from one of the most fascinating eras in European history. Included are religious articles, weapons, coins, tools, boat and wagon parts, pots and pans.“ (Römisches Museum Augsburg [1])
