The archaeological museum was a special treat. There were many ancient items from its day as a part of Magna Graecia. Founded by Sparta, Taras (Taranto) was a Greek city-state ruling over many Greek colonies in southern Italy.
Greek coins minted in Taranto
A skillet with a serpent with a cicada in its mouth at the end of the handle and a frog near the pan (that presumably should jump when the vessel is suitably heated).
Many mosaic floors from the Roman era were rescued and brought to the museum.
