A series of artworks found from the tombs of Hunnu kings and noblemen at the Gol Mod archaeological monument are very unique findings displayed in archeological Museum in Ulaanbaatar. Surprising and notable artworks included gold, silver, and bronze ornaments from a nobleman’s chariot that had intricate and elaborate carvings depicting animals, as well as a glass cup made 2,100 years ago in Rome. These artifacts provided historians with evidence that the ancient nomadic civilization living in Central Asia had contact and relations with the ancient Roman Empire. There are only 10 of these beautifully crafted Roman cups in the world today. German scholar Gail Hanz said of the cup, “These types of cups were used by a very few Roman aristocratic noblemen. There are three more cups being kept in Bonn, four in a museum in New York, and two in the State Hermitage Museum in Russia.” Visitors are able to see the artifacts found from the tombs by making advance reservations to visit the Archaeological Museum at Ulaanbaatar State University.
