Definition:
"Roman antiquities" is slang that means "things from Roman times," as in those things that were made by a person named Augustus or even the king of ancient Rome.
Example Sentence: "When I was at the amusement park, I saw a group of kids playing with antique dolls. The dolls were so small and ornate that you could tell they were made centuries ago!" This phrase is both humorous and unsettling because it uses the word "antiquities," which is often associated with wealth or possession, but in this context, it's being used to describe something from a long-lost civilization or era. The kid's reaction when he realized these dolls came from Roman times seems like a slap in the face of timelessness and tradition.
