Read about: Colosseo, until September 14. and other news about Rome city and hotels in Rome. An important event at one of the main attractions of Rome: until September 14, 2008 the Roman Colosseo hosts an exhibition "Roman victories." Romans were known as great warriors, and the success of the Roman Empire greatly depended on military conquest. The bas-reliefs, sculptures, paintings, bronzes and other objects displayed at the exhibition will help you get a closer look at Roman victories through the story of festivities and ceremonies that surrounded those big battles. The exhibition is divided into three sections. The first relates to victories and their development, from the Etruscan to the Hellenistic worlds, the second is dedicated to the great leaders and victors that lead the battles, as well as the ones defeated (Caesar, Pompeius and Octavian are among the most significant names here). It also reproduces the battle scenes. And the last section tells us about the peoples conquered by the Romans: the Greeks, the Judeans, the Dacians and the Barbarians.
