[ Culture&Events, Events, Exhibition ] Until 10 Jan 2010: Vespasian and the Flavians, at the Colosseum

To celebrate 2000 years since the birth of the Emperor Vespasian or, if you prefer, Titus Flavius Vespasianus, Rome is holding a unique exhibition at the Colosseum dedicated entirely to the emperor and the Flavian dynasty he founded.
Unlike previous exhibitions which were confined to the inner halls of the Colosseum, the exhibition ‘Divus Vespasianus – Il Bimillenario dei Flavi’ (The God Vespasian – the Bi-millenium of the Flavians) quite literally leads the visitor on a pilgrimage to the remaining monumental locations that can be attributed to the three Emperors of the dynasty: Vespasian (69-79AD), Titus (79-81AD) and Domitian (81-96AD).
One can explore the urban development and the monumental contributions of the Flavians: the arches of Titus and Domitian, the Horrea Vespasiani, the temple of Divus Vespasianus, the Equus Domitiani and much more, including the Colosseum itself.
The exhibition runs from 27 March 2009 until 10 January 2010.
To read the rest of Jan’s article on Vespasian and the Flavians, pick up a copy of the latest (April-May 2009) issue of The Roman Forum!
