An exceptional retrospective on Roman civilization during the imperial era, the exhibition Rome. The City and the Empire and its catalogue invite you to immerse yourself in the ancient world in the main themes that shaped Rome and contributed to its greatness. The history of this city, a simple town in Lazio that became the capital of an Empire—first territorial, then political—of gigantic proportions, is told through the prism of masterpieces from the Roman collections of the Louvre Museum and heritage institutions in Hauts-de-France.
Under the pen of renowned specialists, marbles, bronzes, everyday objects, jewelry, mosaics and paintings present a complete panorama of what the Roman Empire could have been at its height.
