THE ltROCKETY-Ill 17 above. This museum contains original sculptures and other remains discovered in recent years. It comprises one of the most important coller-tions in Rome and is steadily growing in importance, as all limls are now the property of the state. For the Exposition several rooms haul been prepared to receive reproductions ill miniature m- in full size of important remains in countries that once formed ln'uvincus of the Roman empile. it was thus possible to study and compare. monu- ments which could utherwiuc hare been seen only hy traveling mer a great portion at Europe as well as of .tstn Minor mid Northern Africa. Greece was J'epi'ccentml ht a numhei' of casts and by two interesting tlisplag'si One of these was :1 series 01' photographs of archaeological sites in Greem numbering four hundred and sixty-two. S'ome of the photographs were at unusual size and they were all executed with exceptional cleminess. The taking of these photographs had required nearly four months of labor and travel in every part 01' Greece. The other digpluy was that of an almost complete collection of portraits of the four hundred and eight B znntinc emperors ending with Andre Paleologue who died at Rome in 1494. These portraits had been. derived from all possible sources, such as statues, carted ivories and gems, manuscripts: paintings, et. cetera. The original plan had been conceived over twenty years ago and its execution had involved 11 search thmugh various libraries and museums of Europe. The results arc of importance for Byxnutine history and for the history of Byzantine art. This project as well as that at the series of photographs had been carried out under the patronage of the Greek government. Very interesting were FOHlC litiniature reproductions in another division of tho cxpoEition of the Roman remains recently discovered at Timgad in Northern Africa. Here are found in a remarkable state of preservation the forum, temples, theatres, trinmphat arches, etc, of this long forgotten city. With the return of European civilization to this part of the dark continent, these deserts may he made to blossom once more. ,It is nut easv to dismiss this expo:- ion without at. least a passing mention of two other exhibit Immediately adjoining the Baths of Diocletian there had been set up a full- zed reproduction of the temple at Am-ym in Asia Minor hearing the famous inscription placed there by Augustus in which he recounts in his own words the cVents of his longr reign. C'he other exhibit was a miniature representation of the city of Rome in the fourth century A. D. This was the work of a French architect and former member of the French A a:lemj' at, Rome. He had been engaged upon this pmee of work for sctcn years. It was displayed in mm of the best preserved rooms of the ancient, ruin. There were reproduced the structures and the general contours of the imperial eitv. The st-nlv was 1 to 4:00.
