The Museum of Roman Civilization is located in Rome, in the EUR district, and is part of the system of museums in the municipality of Rome. It documents the various aspects of Roman civilization, including customs and traditions, through a very rich collection of copies of statues, bas-relief casts, scale reproductions of individual works and monumental complexes and dioramas, including large ones. The collection of the Museum of Civilization is the result of the combination of what was collected on the occasion of the Archaeological Exhibition of 1911, the Museum of the Roman Empire and the Augustan Exhibition of Romanity. All the artifacts are made with such accuracy as to make them real works of art. Two of the works on display stand out: the complete series of casts of the Trajan's Column in natural size and the large model of imperial Rome, made by Italo Gismondi. The visit to the museum is complementary to the observation of the ancient monuments of the capital, since thanks to the very accurate models on display, the visitor can better understand their structure and original appearance. Furthermore, the museum excellently completes the visit to the city also because it allows to know the most important works of the lands in which the Roman civilization spread and to know the many aspects of daily life. For these reasons, despite the almost total absence of original finds, the museum has a great didactic and documentary value. The design of the building that now houses the museum is the work of the architects Pietro Aschieri, Cesare Pascoletti, Gino Peressutti and Domenico Bernardini.
