mention four archaeological sources of Ancient Roman empire
Answers
Answer:
One of the last great undiscovered and little-explored archaeological sites in Italy is underneath Rome. In Roman-era brick sewers are 2000-year-old amphorae next to broken beer bottles in spaces that smell of urine, mud, oil and rotting rat carcasses. The surviving Maxima (“the Great Drain”), a sewer built below the Forum, is one of the oldest surviving structures in Rome yet parts of it have never been mapped or explored.

Other areas that have not been thoroughly investigated include the Aqua Virgo, the only aqueduct in Rome still in use after 20 centuries; the La Chioccila (“the snail shell”), spiral staircase that leads to the Aqua Virgo; an A.D. 2nd century building beside the Circus Maximus, with an almost completely intact cave-like room with a bull statue used for bull sacrifices to honor the god Mithras; and a room full of exquisite mosaic walls with image sf half-naked men stamping grapes under Nero's Golden House
Over the centuries buildings have been built on top of one another with important monuments often lying on top of other important monuments, For example the basilica of San Clemente today lies on top of an earlier church destroyed when the Normans sacked Rome in 1084. The church in turn was built on top of an A.D. 4th century house where Christians met which was built on top of a shrine to the Roman god Mithras.
Some places are 15 meters higher than they were when Rome was established. Much of Rome sits on a flood plain, at a bend in the Tiber River. Although the Romans built levees the city was periodically flooded. Layers of sediment deposited during the floods raised the level of the city as did the practice of building new roads and buildings on top of old ones.

Answer:
The Archaeological Source can again be divided into three groups, namely, Archaeological Remains and Monuments, Inscriptions and Coins. The Literary Source can also be divided into three groups, namely, Religious Literature, Secular Literature and Accounts of Foreigners. A brief account of these sources is given below.
