February 23 - July 29, 2007
Explore the magnificence of Imperial Rome during its reign as the dominant political, economic and military power of the western civilized world. Take a glimpse into life during the Roman Empire from 27 BC to the middle of the third century AD as you encounter objects related to elaborate banquets, Roman baths, religious beliefs, public ceremonies, successful trade systems and powerful emperors. Although Rome began as a small village of huts near the banks of the Tiber River in the eighth century BC, by the middle of the third century AD, Rome was the dominant political, economic and military power of the western civilized world.
At its height, the Roman Empire encompassed England, all of continental Europe west of the Rhine and South of the Danube, most of Asia west of the Euphrates, the coastal areas of North Africa and all of the Mediterranean islands. Hundreds of artifacts, including ancient ceramics, terracottas, portraits, reliefs, sarcophagi, urns, jewelry, and bronze and marble statues, reveal the brilliance of Roman art and culture while showcasing the Roman influences still prevalent in modern society.
