An evocative journey through stupendous photographs, which over the course of nearly one hundred years, from 1845 to 1940, document the archaeological wonders of Rome.
[Archaeology strikes a pose. From the Colosseum to Cecilia Metella in antique photographic documentation] The catalogue of the exhibition in Rome in 1998-99, the result of collaboration among the Ministry of Cultural Assets and Activities, the Central Office for printed assets, cultural institutions and publishing, the Archaeological Service of Rome and the Biblioteca Vallicelliana, offers an important, precious selection of antique photographic images.
An evocative journey through stupendous pictures, all in two-color printing with sepia tones, which over the course of nearly one hundred years, from 1845 to 1940, document the archaeological wonders of Rome: the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus, the ancient Appian Way, the Arch of Constantine, the Baths of Caracalla and the tomb of Cecilia Metella.
