The Regional Museum of History in Ruse keeps a rich ancient heritage. The permanent archaeological exhibition is mounted in five halls. The Roman period is represented by small bronze and stone sculptures, votive tablets, objects from the everyday life of the Roman and Barbarian population in the province of Lower Moesia (Moesia Inferior). The exhibits reveal the pagan cults and the life of early Christians. On display is also ancient armament, including an iron cavalry helmet from the Late Roman period which is unique in Bulgaria, the golden treasure of Little Preslavets, jewellery and glassware found in the necropolises of the fortresses Sexaginta Prista and Tegra (near the town of Marten), numerous rare gold and silver coins, etc.
