The exhibits cover 6th century BC all the way through to 4th century AD - so the high period of the Roman Empire
Visit: Gladiator Museum, Rome, Lazio
Rome's Gladiator Museum is not far from the Colosseum itself and is a place to get up and close to the armor and weaponry made famous by these fighting men (and women).
Get to know the masks, helmets, armor, and weapons, used by gladiators and military of ancient times. You'll also have the chance to learn about how they made and maintained the tools of their trade, at this centrally located museum.
With its cutting-edge design and 312,000 square-feet of space, located on the grounds of a former military barracks in Rome's Flaminio district, the MAXXI Museum has recently added a shining star to Rome's diverse architectural landscape. The name comes from the blending of the words Modern Art (or MA) and XXI, the number 21 in Roman numerals; this is no coincidence since the building's clean, unadorned lines featuring white concrete walls, stark black steel stairs and a glass roof that filters in natural light are a fitting representation of 21st century aesthetics.
Designed by the Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, the first woman to win, in 2004, the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize, the building's elegant curves and stunning interior spaces have been very much appreciated on an international level. MAXXI was awarded the prestigious Stirling Prize and was later declared World Building of the Year 2010 at the World Architecture Festival of Barcelona.
Officially called the National Museum of the XXI Century Arts, the building houses two separate museums -- MAXXI Art and MAXXI Architecture – and the permanent collection of 300 works includes pieces by Balla, Morandi, De Chirico, De Pisis, Guttuso, Fontana, Kandinsky, Kapoor, Richter and Andy Warhol, among others, providing a nice counterpoint to the classics that fill most of the city's other museums. But that's not all: MAXXI is also a research workshop where, alongside exhibits on contemporary art and architecture, design, fashion, film and advertising are featured in a multidisciplinary cultural center.
The polished turbines and archaic engines of Rome's first municipal electric plant, which opened in 1912, make for fascinating modern sculpture, especially when set against the ancient sculpture now on display here -- 400 antique marble and bronze works from the rich collection of the Capitoline Museums. This abandoned factory was converted into a museum in 1997 during the restructuring of the Capitoline Museum complex.
At that time, the exhibition The Machines and the Gods was created to display side by side two diametrically opposed worlds, those of classical art and of industrial archeology. In an atmospheric game of contrasts, the old machinery of electricity production is the backdrop for masterpieces of ancient sculpture arranged in four interconnecting galleries: the Atrium, the Columned Hall, the Machine Hall and the Boiler Room.
The display reconstructs some of the great monumental complexes of Ancient Rome and illustrates the development of the city from the Republican era to the late imperial age. Centrale Montemartini is also used to showcase the Capitoline Museum's most recent acquisitions, making repeated visits to this fascinating site a must for anyone with an interest in Ancient Rome.
Your professional guide will tell you how the construction on Capitoline Hill began, and how Michelangelo was commissioned by Pope Paul III to design the square. The guide will take you through ancient roman history and empire. After you will continue the visit on your own using the innovative videoguide.
The first square of modern Rome was created y the genius of Michelangelo, rising on the Capitoline Hill, on the site of an old village and the place dedicated to numerous temples to the Roman deities.
See the famous she-wolf sculpture featuring Rome's founders Romulus and Remus, and see a treasure chest of items telling the story of Rome, the ancient Caput Mundi.

* You can use this formula for all Italian ten-place numbers—so 31 is trent'uno, 32 is trenta due, 33 is trenta tre, etc. Note that—like uno (one), otto (eight) also starts with a vowel—all "-8" numbers are also abbreviated (vent'otto, trent'otto, etc.).
