The Eternal City has gained a new archaeology museum: the Archaeological Park of the Celio, inaugurated just last month. The park, a stone’s throw away from the Colosseum, contains a host of freshly excavated ancient structures and artifacts, some of which haven’t been seen by the public in centuries.
These include the remains of the Divo Claudio or Temple of Claudius, built during the first century C.E. to host the deified emperor’s cult of worshippers. Claudius’s reign, which lasted from 41 to 54 C.E., was bookended by the tyrannies of Caligula and Nero. Also located in the Archeological Park is the tomb of the emperor Servius Sulpicius Galba, who succeeded Nero and ruled the Roman Empire for just one year until his assassination in 69 CE.
