Museum of Roman Civilization
The museum of Roman Civilization (Museo beyond civiltà romana) is located at Rome, in the district of the EURO. It was conceived by the architects Aschieri, Bernardini, Pascoletti E Peressutti, for the World Fair of Rome which was to take place in 1942. It was finally inaugurated in 1955. The museum not presents original works, but Maquette S and reproductions of sculptures and essential objects in connection with the civilization of the ancient Rome, in all 59 sections of exposures distributed on 12.000 m ².
The large model of Rome at the time of Constantin
The large model of Rome presents the City to the time of Constantin (IVe century). It was carried out on the scale 1:250 by the Architecte Italo Gismondi, on the basis of scientific known construction or being reproduced on the great Roman plan sévérien of the Forma Urbis, as on Formed Urbis Romae of the Archéologue Rodolfo Lanciani. It is regularly updated at the rate/rhythm of the new discoveries.
Low-reliefs of the Trajane column
The mouldings of the low-reliefs of the Colonne Trajane (113) hold also the attention of the visitor who can completely observe them with eye level. This copy is one of the three mouldings carried out at the request of Napoleon III in 1861, given to the pope Pie IX, then deposited with the museum of Roman Civilization by Pie XII.
One can thus follow in a way detailed, over a 200 m length, the events and the various scenes of the campaigns carried out by Trajan against the Daces into 101-102 and 105-106.
