The huge marble map (Forma Urbis) of ancient Rome is on display in a new museum on the Caelian hill. We will examine what's preserved and just how accurate it is in representing Rome's famous monuments (Colosseum, Ludus Magnus, Palatine palace) as well as countless side streets, anonymous shops and apartment buildings. The Forma Urbis is the best ancient guide of the Imperial city under the Severans!
