I find religious artifacts to be interesting items. There are many relics that are left. The best ones are the stone idols. In these most of the gonads and/or breasts were greatly enlarged. These two items were shown as a symbol of fertility.
When I visited Rome, I saw many Christian etchings in walls. If I remember them correctly I think the movie Nero (really dumb and bad) used one of the caves as a set.
One of the more common, non-coinage, artifacts that are left are rosaries. These do not usually tell us much beyond that a religious people lived there.
Coins are my favorite items and I have an okay collection of coins. Many ancient coins are quite cheap.
