Sixteen rooms were needed to show 422 pieces dating from the 8th to the ist century B.C. They were drawn from 43 museums and private collections. They fit together into a fresh and fascinating picture of a civilization which, Roman Historian Livy wrote, "filled not only the earth but also the sea for the whole length of Italy, from the Alps to the Straits of Messina...
