During this past summer, my niece was in town for a few days. Naturally, I wanted to show her around and to make sure that she goes back home with some fond memories of Toronto, but how do you keep the interest of a 16 year old?! Luckily for me, she was interested in seeing the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) which proudly hosts a vast collection of artifacts ranging from pottery to, you guessed it, jewelry made by ancient civilization from around the world.
It just so happens, that as each civilization progressed, they eventually started adorning themselves with, ordinary objects at first such as shells and bone, and later on, with metals and gems that we still consider precious. The Egyptians were the first to adorn themselves with gold. Later, Greeks, Romans, and the Byzantine Empire continued the tradition of adorning themselves with gold.
