Roman Era Collection at the Portman Archaeological Museum
The main part of the museum's collection consists of materials from the Roman era. This was a time when the mines of Carthago Nova were intensely exploited for the production of silver, lead, iron, and zinc among other minerals. These minerals were then exported through the port of Portman, known as Portus Magnus in Latin. This collection offers a unique insight into the area's rich mining history.
