From September 27, 2019, to March 29, 2020, the first major exhibition entirely dedicated to the history and civilization of one of the most powerful cities of antiquity, Carthage, will be staged in the spaces of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, inside the Temple of Romulus and the Imperial Ramp.

Never-before-seen reconstructions and multimedia installations will help visitors understand the various aspects of the ancient city of Carthage for an exhibition intended to be characterized by the richness of the documents present and its chronological breadth. The story between Rome and Carthage will also be reconstructed, and in particular the decisive role of these two powers in the political dynamics and the Mediterranean basin.
