Step into the world of Ancient Rome in this Melbourne-exclusive exhibition,
featuring more than 150 original artefacts from the Imperial period (1 st to the 3 rd
Century CE), all on display in Melbourne for the first time.

Discover the political power, cultural life and everyday experiences of
Romans—from the aftermath of Julius Caesar’s fall to the height of Imperial
ambition. The exhibition showcases stunning statues, mosaics, frescoes and
jewellery, alongside objects used in daily life, offering a vivid insight into one of
history’s most influential civilisations.

Immersive scenography and multimedia bring the splendour and drama of Rome
to life, transporting visitors into gladiator arenas, bustling marketplaces and
sacred spaces. Developed by Museums Victoria in collaboration with leading
Italian institutions, this landmark exhibition draws on the prestigious collections
of the Museo Nazionale Romano and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di
Firenze.
