In Rome, some of the city’s oldest archaeological sites and historic museums are opening up in fresh, high-tech ways that mix ancient history with modern digital tools.
One key example is the House of the Griffins, a more than 2,000-year-old ancient Roman residence on the Palatine Hill. This Republican-era house dates back to between the second and first century B.C., and was buried under later buildings for centuries before being uncovered. It was a home for wealthy families in the time before the Roman Empire, and its walls are decorated with frescoes and floor mosaics that reflect the artistic styles of that age.
