The exhibition: Roma Universalis This exhibition on the emperors of the African Severus dynasty, who reigned over the Roman Empire between the end of the second and the first decades of the third century, aimed at making the last period of the Empire known to Rome as great as possible.
The exhibition is divided into a journey in stages between the monuments that this dynasty built or restored, from the Colosseum to the Fori Imperiali.
The main narrative nucleus starts from the Colosseum's second order gallery, where an economic and social picture of the period is drawn, profoundly shaped by the great reforms that the Severi implemented.
The narration then focuses on the intense relationship between the Severi and Rome, with the extraordinary document Forma Urbis while the last section focuses on the artistic production of the time and the route is divided into the area of ??the Roman Forum and Palatine, between monuments and places connected to the Severi. Here, at the Temple of Romulus, for the first time an exceptional statuary cycle discovered at the Baths of Elagabalo will be exposed to the public, for the first time visible to the public.

Private tour in the Colosseum A stay in Rome is unthinkable without a visit to its most iconic building, the Colosseum, and the adjoining Palantine Hill and Roman Forum, a circuit that attracts thousands of visitors every year.
Make the most of your visit to the cultural, political and commercial centre of ancient Rome with a knowledgeable guide and a private tour.
The 3-hour walkabout doesn’t rush you through this gripping piece of history and will take you past the queues at the entrance, right into the Colosseum’s past of gladiator fights, executions and animal hunts. Enjoy lively explanations of what happened behind the scenes and discover how the underground theatrical system worked.
Continue your tour to Palatino Hill, the most ancient part of the city. Follow your guide through the centre of the old Rome, around the ruins of once majestic palaces, where wealthy patricians and emperors lived. Standing on Palatino Hill, enjoy the panoramic views over Circus Maximus, Rome's 600 metres long stadium and venue for spectacular chariot races.
The private tour ends with the Forum Romanum, the centre of daily and political life in Rome, where processions, elections and public speeches were held, criminals trialled, and commerce conducted. Let your tour guide explain what life was like in Rome's heyday and bring the past alive for you.
