The
Museum of the Crypta Balbi is housed in a
complex between Via delle Botteghe Oscure and Via Caetani
which includes two houses of medieval origin
on Via Botteghe Oscure and the "Barberinian dormitory"
in Via Caetani.
The arrangement
plan and the tours allow the visitor to notice
the articulation of the old buildings and the original
communication routes in an area which has had considerable
continuity of life from the Roman era to the
present day.
The general
archaeological excavation and the restoration
project of such an important complex, which can be considered
one of the most successful projects of urban archaeology,
was carried out over approximately twenty years starting
in the '80S, and now demonstrates the different building
phases of the area. In the Roman era the area
was occupied by a vast courtyard with an arcade attached
to the theatre of Balbus erected in 13 BC, then it was
transformed and adapted over subsequent periods, especially
in the medieval and Renaissance eras
with the settlement of the Monastery of Saint
Maria Domine Rose built in VIII century, the houses
of merchants built after the year 1000 next to the wall
of the Crypta and the Conservatory of
Santa Caterina dei Funari built in XVI century.
The transformations
of this section of the historical centre are
displayed as documented by the excavation on the ground
floor; the Roman urban culture between the V
and X centuries is illustrated through the exhibition
of materials that document the productive and handicraft
industries of the time, on the ground floor and first
floor: the artefacts from the VII century found
in the storage room of the Crypta that held a
huge amount of tableware, kitchenware and items for
transport, are among some of the examples. Other important
items following recent urban excavations and historical
collections, in particular material from the Forums,
the Colle Oppio and Celio are displayed
in addition to the finds from the excavation of the
Crypta.
The numismatic
material on display(Gnecchi and Vittorio Emanuele
III collections)originates from historical collections.
