    From February 19 through August 1, 2010, the National Constitution Center will host the world debut of Ancient Rome & America, a multi-million dollar, artifact-rich exhibition showcasing the cultural, political, and social connections between the lost world of ancient Rome and modern America. Ancient Rome & America is created by the National Constitution Center and Contemporanea Progetti of Florence, Italy, in collaboration with the Ministero per i Beni e Le Attività Culturali, Rome, Italy. Through a never-before-seen collection of over 300 artifacts from Italy and the United States, including marble sculptures, paintings, jewelry, coins, and ceramics, the 8,000 square foot exhibition draws striking comparisons between Roman and American culture, from theories of government to slavery and civil war, to continental expansion and worldwide influence.
