Italy Celebrates Return of Antiquities from US
Italy is celebrating the return of around 600 antiquities (古物) from the

They say the artifacts date from the ninth century B.C. to the second
century.

that were looted or stolen from its territory by tomb-raiders.

records to resell the loot to high-end buyers, auction houses and museums.
