Ancient Rome ruled over the largest-ever state in the Mediterranean region. Many of its scientific, technical and artistic achievements went to form the basis of our modern civilization. Tremendous edifices – amphitheatres, temples and triumphal arches – extolled the might of the Roman state, its rulers and heroes. Portraits carved in marble have preserved the images of people from this long-past era. Works from the Hermitage collection will acquaint you with the culture and art of this great civilization of the Ancient World.
