after the Kabelsalat, I visited the interesting exhibition Im Licht des Südens at the Archäologische Staatsammlung here in Munich. The exhibition tells us that a cultural and commercial globalisation, although slower than the today's globalisation, was already in place in the Antiquity between the Celt and Roman world on one side and other cultures of near and far countries, like Greece, Crete, Egypt, Syria and India, on the other side. The mix and the changes in the cultures due to said globalisation in the Antiquity is testified by oriental goods, artifacts in gold, metals and exotic materials, and local produced devices adapted to oriental styles discovered in Roman and Celts archaeological sites. Of particular interest t the exhibition a sundial from Altino (Venice) of the 1st cen. B.C.. More info about this exhibition at:
