MUSEUM OF CIVILIZATION 'ROMAN

These are mainly of casts of statues, busts, inscriptions, reliefs and parts of buildings in size, scale models of monuments and architectural complexes of Rome and the provinces of the Roman Empire, as well as evidence of so-called "material culture" as ornaments , household objects and tools.
The museum is divided into 59 sections that run over an area of 13,000 square meters, for a development wall of 3 km and a height of 10 meters: these dimensions can obviously reconstruct, in whole or in part, buildings and monuments ancient Roman world. The first fourteen rooms house a historical overview of the origins of Rome until the sixth century AD, including one report card that shows the progressive expansion of the Roman Empire, the portraits of emperors and famous men, including Caesar, Augustus, Claudius, Nero , Brutus, Pompey, Cicero and plastic Augustan monuments, Trajan, Severan and Aurelian. In the section devoted to Christianity have exhibited casts of reliefs and inscriptions and early Christian sarcophagi, including that of Constantine in porphyry, son of the emperor, that of the urban prefect Junius Low and S. Ambrose. Among the many other sections that reconstruct in detail the Roman civilization in its various aspects, from public life to everyday life, remember those dedicated military sectors of the army and navy, the port and the provinces of the empire, dedicated in baths, aqueducts, cisterns and nymphs and that illustrates theaters, amphitheaters, circuses, and gyms with plastic from the Colosseum and the Theatre of Marcellus in Rome.
