Discover more about Antiquarium di Lucrezia Romana

The Antiquarium di Lucrezia Romana, located between the Grande Raccordo Anulare and Via Tuscolana, offers a journey through the history of the Appio Tuscolano territory. This archaeological museum, though small, covers a broad chronological span, exhibiting artifacts from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. The museum's collection comprises items uncovered during archaeological investigations in the southeastern suburbs of Rome over the last three decades. The area, crossed by the ancient Via Latina, was once characterized by agricultural activities, villas, and necropolises. The exhibits primarily consist of funerary objects, including gold jewelry, small ornaments, vases, and oil lamps. Also on display are items reflecting daily life, such as containers for makeup, tweezers, and spatulas. A prehistoric baby bottle is a particularly interesting find. Visitors can also view mosaics, coins, frescoes, glassware, and fragments of villa and tomb decorations from the Imperial age. Noteworthy pieces include terracotta architectural elements from the Augustan period, a Hellenistic-style head, and terracotta faces of divinities. Marble highlights include an alabaster basin, a statue of Hermaphroditus, and a Nereid on a sea monster. The Antiquarium emphasizes the connection between the artifacts and their places of discovery, providing context to the history of the Appio Tuscolano area.
