I didn't realize until later that the Museum of Rome we went to, is actually one of three structures within the city. It is pretty close to the train station and an easy walk from out hotel. As our previous guide told us, Rome copied much from Greece which was a much more advanced society. The Romans simply changed the names of the Gods and made them their own. For instance, the Greek Goddess Athena, became the Roman Minerva.
MINERVA, THE GODDESS OF WAR.
EMPEROR AUGUSTUS
THE DISCOBOLUS, 460-450BC
THE SLEEPING HERMAPHRODITE
MOSAIC MURALS ON THE WALLS, EACH TINY TILE MAKING UP PART OF THE DESIGN
THE BOXER
JEWELRY
There is just so much to see that I can't possibly post all the pictures I have. Truly amazing.
