Imperial Rome
The old saying that “all roads lead to Rome” was most certainly true in the days of Imperial Rome.
This exhibition has been conceived with the conviction that visual message contained within artifacts is the best way to explore a past civilization and create a deeper understanding of the period. Through the exposition of approximately 450 artifacts, the exhibition intends to illustrate various important aspects of Roman culture, both public and private, as well as Roman artistic expression, during the days of grandeur that was Imperial Rome.
Curation by Contemporanea Progetti, the exhibition includes ceramics and terracottas, portraits and reliefs, sarcophagi and urns, bronze and marble statues, gems and cameos, jewels and glass and a large suite of coins. Every artifact has its intrinsic message, but it is through the sum of the whole that a comprehensive vision of Imperial Rome emerges.
