Guided Tour in Museo Nazionale Romano, Roma - Italy 4K Travel Channel
The Museo Nazionale Romano, also known as Museo Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, is next to the central station in Rome, Termini.
The archaeological collection of the museum is one of the most important worldwide.
We were fortunate to accompany a tour under the guidance of Dr. Lauren Golden.
Dr. Golden guides us with enthusiasm and professional competence through the exhibition. Already at the entrance, in front of the statue of Minerva, she gives us an insight into Roman sculpture in accordance with the Roman history, which gives deep insights into the everyday life of the romans.
The statues of Augustus shown as chief priest of Rome, the Boxer of Quirinal and the Seleucid prince count as the most important exhibits. Both last-mentioned statues are Greek originals from the 4th century B.C. They belong to the 7 most important still preserved bronze statues worldwide.
The Roman sculptures were initially Greek copies, however, the art continued to developed . The statues got Roman facial features, since the people worshiped their ancestors busts and statues at home. Later, the statues became part of Roman policy. Statues were erected when struggling for the power in the whole empire almost like in an election campaign.
In addition to sculptures a series of mosaics can be seen on the ground floor.
On the first floor you find Roman mural paintings. Using the exhibits, Dr. Golden explained the four Roman styles. Beautiful examples from the villa of Julius Caesar villa are displayed. Two further rooms represent the third style, which uses spatially plastic paintings, usually with a large picture in the middle and elaborate ornaments above. The ceilings were covered effortfully with marble decorations.
Very interesting is a dining room (party room) which was designed very dark, so that soot and other deposits were not always immediately noticeable.
Highlight of the guided tour is a garden landscape from the Villa di Livia (Livia's Villa) which presumably belonged to Livia, the woman of emperor Augustus. The entire room was painted all round with plants, trees with fruits and birds. A complete, well-preserved painting of a room of this size should not be found a second time.
You find garden landscapes in each style period, but mostly they were assigned to a period only based on small details.

Das Museo Nazionale Romano, auch Museo Palazzo Massimo alle Terme gennant, befindet sich in Rom unmittelbar neben dem Hauptbahnhof (Termini).
Die archäologische Sammlung des Museums zählt zu den bedeutendsten weltweit.
Wir haben das Glück eine organisierte Führung mit Frau Dr. Lauren Golden, begleiten zu dürfen.
Dr. Golden führt mit viel hingebungsvoller Freude und fachlicher Kompetenz durch die Ausstellung. Bereits am Eingang vor der Statue der Minerva gibt sie nicht nur einen Einblick in die römische Bildhauerei, sondern erklärt sie im Einklang mit der römischen Geschichte und gibt tiefe Einblicke in das Alltagsleben der Römer.
Zu den bedeutendsten Exponaten zählen eine Augustus Statue, dargestellt als oberster Priester Roms, der Faustkämpfer vom Quirinal und der Thermenherrscher. Beide letztgenannten Statuen sind griechische Originale aus dem 4. Jahrhundert vor Christus. Damit zählen sie zu den 7 bedeutendsten noch erhalten Bronzestatuen weltweit.
Die römischen Skulpturen waren anfangs griechische Kopien, die Kunst wurde jedoch weiterentwickelt. Die Figuren nahmen römische Gesichtszüge an, da man in seinen Häuser Ahnenbüsten und Statuen verehrte. Später wurden die Statuen ein Teil römischer Politik. Fast wie in einem Wahlkampf wurden Statuen vielfältig beim Ringen um die Macht im ganzen Reich aufgestellt.
Neben Skulpturen sind im Erdgeschoss auch eine Reihe von Mosaiken zu sehen.
Der erste Stock ist im wesentlichen römischen Wandmalereien gewidmet. Anhand der ausgestellten Exponate erläutert Dr. Golden die vier römischen Stilarten. Danach werden wunderschöne Beispiele aus Julius Cäsars Villa gezeigt. Zwei weiter Räume repräsentieren den dritten Stil, der räumlich plastische Malereien bevorzugte, meist mit einem großen Bild in der Mitte und aufwendigen Ornamenten darüber. Die Decken wurden in der Regel aufwendig mit Marmordekorationen verkleidet.
Interessant ist ein Essraum (Partyraum), der sehr dunkel gestaltet war, damit sich Ruß und andere Ablagerungen nicht sofort bemerkbar machten.
Höhepunkt der Führung ist eine Gartenlandschaft aus der Villa di Livia (Livias Villa), die vermutlich Livia, der Frau von Kaiser Augustus gehörte. Der gesamte Raum war rundherum mit Pflanzen, Bäumen mit Früchten und Vögeln bemalt. Eine komplette, guterhaltene Bemalung eines Raumes dieser Größe dürfte kein zweites Mal zu finden sein.

The National Museum of Rome (Palazzo Massimo alle Terme)
A brilliant, underrated museum. In any other city this would be at the top of everyone's list. Of course, since there are so many great museums in Rome, people tend to choose the Vatican Museum, Borghese Gallery, or even the Capitoline Museum over this. When it comes to the ancient Roman world, however, this is probably the best museum there is. Everything within (sculptures, frescoes, mosaics, coins, etc.) is from ancient Roman times, giving visitors a real feel of experiencing that lost world.

Niobe
by Anna Baldwin
Niobe is one of the more tragic figures in Greek myth. She was the daughter of Tantalus and either Euryanassa, Eurythemista, Clytia, or Dione (no one seems to know for sure) and had two brothers, Broteas and Pelops. Niobe was the queen of Thebes (the principle city in Boetia), married to Amphion, King of Thebes.
Niobe and Amphion had fourteen children (the Niobids), and in a moment of arrogance, Niobe bragged about her seven sons and seven daughters at a ceremony in honor of Leto, the daughter of the titans Coeus and Phoebe. She mocked Leto, who only had two children, Apollo, god of prophecy and music, and Artemis, virgin goddess of the wild. Leto did not take the insult lightly, and in retaliation, sent Apollo and Artemis to earth to slaughter all of Niobe's children. Apollo killed the seven sons while they practiced their athletics. The last son begged to be spared, but the arrow had already left Apollo's bow, and the boy was struck dead. Artemis killed the seven daughters with her lethal arrows. (Some versions have a few of the children being spared.)
At the sight of his dead sons, Amphion either committed suicide or was also killed by Apollo for wanting to avenge his children's deaths. In any event, Niobe's entire family was dead in a matter of minutes. In shock, she cradled the youngest daughter in her arms, then fled to Mt. Siplyon in Asia Minor. There she turned to stone and from the rock formed a stream (the Achelous) from her ceaseless tears. She became the symbol of eternal mourning. Niobe's children were left unburied for nine days because Zeus had turned all of the people of Thebes into stone. Only on the tenth day did the gods have pity and entomb her children.
Niobe is weeping even to this day. Carved on a rock cliff on Mt Sipylus is the fading image of a female that the Greeks claim is Niobe (it was probably Cybele, the great mother-goddess of Asia Minor originally). Composed of porous limestone, the stone appears to weep as the water after a rain seeps through it
This myth vividly illustrates the vicious nature of the gods. Often, the gods would strike deadly revenge on mortals merely for acting on human weaknesses. Leto had Niobe's entire family killed because of an arrogant comment. This theme of deadly revenge is common in myths of Artemis and Apollo. For example, Artemis turns Actaeon into a stag which his hunting dogs devour because he accidentally saw her naked after a bath. Apollo is as equally unforgiving. He took lethal action against the mortal Marsyas after Marsyas challenged Apollo to a contest of music and lost. Apollo skinned him alive. Clearly, the myth of Niobe demonstrates the wrath of both Apollo and Artemis and is a warning to mortals not to compare themselves to the gods.

From Wikipedia
The building was built between 1883 and 1886 by the last descendant of the Roman family of Maximus , the Jesuit priest Massimiliano Massimo , on land that belonged to the family; he commissioned the construction of the architect Camillo Pistrucci .
The construction of the building led to the demolition of a previous building, Palazzo Peretti (which belonged to Pope Sixtus V and therefore also called Sistino ), which was located inside the Peretti Montalto villa , by Domenico Fontana (late 16th century ). The villa, which later became Negroni, and finally Massimo, disappeared completely with the construction of the nearby railway station.
The new palace became the seat of the Jesuit College, which in 1871, with the conquest of the Papal State by the Savoy and the designation of Rome as the Capital of the Kingdom, had been expropriated from the original seat of the Roman College , or the convent of Sant ' Ignatius, destined to host the Ennio Quirino Visconti high school, the first high school-gymnasium of the new Unitary State and, since 1975, the year of its foundation, also of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism.
It was therefore for this reason that, later, the palace was called Istituto Massimiliano Massimo , in honor of its founder: it maintained this destination until 8 December 1960 , when the Institute moved to the newest and largest location of the EUR .
Purchased by the Italian State in 1981 , thanks to the funding of the law 92/81 for the enhancement of the archaeological heritage of Rome, after a restoration by the architect Costantino Dardi , the building has hosted since 1998 the main among the four headquarters of the National Museum Roman , as well as the central offices of the Special Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Rome .
The Museum is divided into a basement (home to the largest Italian Medal Office), a ground floor and two upper floors of the building.

Rome, Palazzo Massimo, The Portonaccio Sarcophagus (manortiz)
The Portonaccio sarcophagus was a 2nd century ancient Roman sarcophagus, discovered in 1931 in Portonaccio near via Tiburtina and now held at the Museo Nazionale Romano (Palazzo Massimo alle Terme). Dating to between 190 and 200 the sarcophagus was probably used in the burial of a Roman general who was involved in the campaigns of Marcus Aurelius
Do not know who was buried inside the sarcophagus. The face of the general has not been completed, but there are signs of the Legion: The eagle of the Legio IIII Flavia of and the wild boar of the Legio I Italica. From these clues, historians have thought about the official of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (161-180 CE), Aulus Julius Pompilio at the head of two squadrons of cavalry in the war against the Marcomanni (172-175AD).
Il sarcofago di Portonaccio è un sarcofago romano rinvenuto nel 1931 in via delle Cave di Pietralata, nei pressi di Portonaccio, un quartiere di Roma, ed oggi conservato al Museo Nazionale Romano (palazzo Massimo alle Terme). È alto 1,53 metri ed è databile attorno al 180 circa.
Il sarcofago doveva essere la tomba di un generale romano impegnato nelle campagne germano-sarmatiche di Marco Aurelio degli anni 172-175 ed è forse il più bell'esempio di scultura privata del II secolo[ con influenze legate alle tendenze della Colonna aureliana
La cassa è molto alta, con tutta la parte frontale coperta da altorilievi di combattimento tra Romani e barbari. La complessa battaglia è articolata in quattro piani diversi: due superiori, con cavalieri romani alla carica, uno con fanti romani e un ultimo, più in basso, con i barbari che vengono travolti. Al centro, evidenziato da linee di forza che convergono sulla sua figura, si trova il generale a cavallo in posizione di assalto, che non ha le sembianze scolpite.
A destra e a sinistra la scena è delimitata da trofei di armi, con due coppie di capi barbari prigionieri (uomo e donna). Il barbaro di destra è certamente un suebo (marcomanno, quado o forse anche dei Buri), per la tipologia della pettinatura (nodo suebo); il barbaro sulla sinistra è un altro germano o un sarmato-iazigio.
Il coperchio, con due grandi acroteri raffiguranti mascheroni di barbari, è decorato da un fregio a rilievo più basso, con la Storia della vita di un personaggio la cui testa, come sulla cassa, non è lavorata (forse Aulus Iulius Pompilius Titus Vivius Laevillus Piso Berenicianus

Palazzo Massimo alle Terme em Museu Nacional em Roma
O Palácio Massimo das Termas (em italiano: Palazzo Massimo alle Terme) foi construído entre 1883 e 1887 por Camillo Pistrucci em estilo neo-renascentista para o cardeal-príncipe Massimiliano Massimo, que ali desejava sediar um colégio jesuíta. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial foi transformado em hospital militar, tratando mais de 30 mil feridos de guerra. Depois voltou à posse dos jesuítas, que logo o abandonaram. Comprado pelo governo italiano em 1981, foi restaurado e adaptado para sediar parte do Museu Nacional, instalada em 1998.
O Palácio Massimo abriga arte da Roma Antiga nas modalidades de escultura, pintura, numismática e joalheria. A seção de numismática é a melhor do mundo em seu gênero, e foi formada com a reunião de várias coleções privadas e com achados de escavações em Roma e nas regiões vizinhas, ilustrando a história da moeda romana desde suas origens até a atualidade.
Na parte de joalheria são apresentadas peças descobertas em antigas tumbas romanas, que formam um significativo panorama da evolução da moda e dos costumes no Império Romano. As pinturas, afrescos e estuques datam desde o final do período republicano até o final do Império, junto com diversas peças gregas, descobertas nos Jardins de Salústio e outras vilas aristocráticas romanas, como a Vila Farnesina e a Vila Lívia.
Quanto às esculturas, formam um rico painel da arte da retratística romana entre os períodos pós-conquista da Grécia e o Império Romano em seu apogeu. Também possui peças decorativas, mosaicos e peças menores em bronze. Dentre as obras expostas se destacam a estátua de Augusto em vestes pontificais, uma Níobe, o Lutador, o Discóbolo Lancelotti, o Hermafrodita Dormindo, a Vênus de Doidalsas, e o Apolo do Tibre.
