The discovery of rare archaeological artifacts continues to fascinate and intrigue people around the world. In February 2023, an iron Cavalry parade mask was discovered in Romania, believed to be about 1,900 years old and one of the few Roman parade masks ever found in the country.

The mask is heavily oxidized due to centuries of being buried in damp soil, but experts have identified it as a Caly type with slim ey slits, a wide nose, and a peaceful expression. Another significant discovery was a unique gold glass personification of Rome found during the construction of Rome's Metro sea subway line at the Porta Metronia station.

It is the only known representation of Rome in ancient gold glass and is believed to date back to the early 4th century. The artifact depicts Rome as a female figure wearing an Amazonian-style dress, helmet, and diadem, holding a spear across her chest, and has finely crafted hair and helmet details.

In addition to these discoveries, an amateur metal detectorist in England found a heart-shaped pendant made of gold and enamel that bears the emblems and initials of King Henry VII and his bride, Catherine of Aragon.

Believed to have belonged to either Henry or Catherine personally, the pendant is in pristine condition and is considered a significant relic of their momentous marriage. Finally, the furba, a ritual object commonly used in the Himalayan regions for spiritual and healing purposes, was discussed. The furba has a distinct three-sided blade and is believed to remove negative energies, restore balance, and invoke and maintain positive energies.
