There are depictions of and commentaries on highly important finds, such as inscriptions, gold and silver objets d’art, masterpieces of toreutics and miniature art, imports from Attica and Ionia, as well as local products, such as vases, clay figurines, miniature artworks and coins, from the 7th century BC. They reveal the prosperity of these city-states, and the constant mutual influences between the colonists and the native population in all spheres of the economy, social life and culture.
