I’ve been to a lot of museums in many places around the world and the exhibits at the Rome exhibition are as good as I’ve seen anywhere . Each item is a masterpiece or has a specific purpose in telling the story of life in Ancient Rome.
I have rarely seen such beautiful and interesting coins. My favourite was the Coliseum commemorative coin. The glass was exquisite. All art would be masterpieces in any age.
It’s interesting to be reminded how similar we are now to then. Objects like commemorative coins, hair combs, children’s toys, house decorations, bowls for food etc, all exist today and used for the same reasons they were back then. People are people in all times and places. Our human needs connect us.
