Roman Antiquities Unveiled from Storeroom to Forum Display

Hundreds of ancient Roman artifacts, including colored dice, rain gutter decorations, and a 3,000-year-old burial offering, have been taken out of storerooms and put on display in the Roman Forum, Colosseum, and Palatine Hill. The exhibits include a well-preserved skeleton from the 10th century B.C. and a decoration from a temple rain-gutter depicting a Silenus. The Colosseum's Archaeological Park is working to inventory the artifacts kept in over 100 storerooms, with the hope of making more objects visible to the public in the future. Visitors can view the current exhibition during guided tours.
