The National Museum of Archaeology has recently invited its followers to take a step back in time to over a century ago, when Sir Temi Zammit was at the forefront of excavations at the Roman Domus in Rabat, Malta.

Sir Temi Zammit, a pioneering figure in Maltese archaeology, played a crucial role in shaping the field with his thorough documentation and exploration of various archaeological sites.

Zammit’s work was not only groundbreaking but also meticulously recorded. His detailed notebooks, featuring intricate illustrations of the artefacts unearthed during his excavations, are a reminder of his dedication and meticulous approach.

These notebooks provide a fascinating glimpse into the artefacts of the Roman Domus, showcasing Zammit’s exceptional attention to detail and his passion for preserving Malta’s rich historical heritage.

His pioneering efforts laid a solid foundation for future discoveries and significantly advanced the understanding of Malta’s archaeological and historical landscape. Sir Temi Zammit’s contributions continue to inspire and inform current and future generations of archaeologists and history enthusiasts.

How interesting!
