The exhibition Rome: Empire, Power, People is a tour through our history of looking at ancient Rome

An exhibition of Roman artefacts never before shown in Australia turns out to be less about Rome than about us: room by room, it quietly retraces two centuries of how Western culture has staged the ancient city, from fascist-era marble halls to empty digital reconstructions of the Colosseum. The objects are new to these shores. The way they're framed is a history lesson in itself.
