The Archaeology collection is exhibited in the building of the Konaka Museum. The Antiquity section presents rich and varied collections of artefacts from the major Roman cities of Ratiaria (village of Archar), Bononia (Vidin) and the Roman fortress Castra Martis (town of Kula). The museum also holds a considerable number of stone sculptures - richly decorated Roman sarcophagi, tombstones, votive tablets, and statues, among them standing out is the famous marble statue „Heracles Resting“ (2nd century, village of Archar).

The abundance of collections of antique pottery, clay lamps, jewellery and household items is complemented by a rich collection of Roman coins from the republican and imperial period. Part of the archaeological richness of the Roman era is also displayed by the original floor mosaic found in a country villa next to Ratiaria (3rd century).
