Speranza
Examples of ROMAN musea include
THE PORTICUS METELLI,
which in Ancient ROMA
served to showcase masterpieces
of statuary
--
and
-- THE TEMPLUM PACIS,
a temple surrounded by an open rectangular
space with porticoes, which
displayed such diverse works as
MYRON's cow
and a statue of the RIVER NILE,
sculpture looted from Greece by NERONE
and spoils plundered by TITO from the temple of GERUSALEMME.
