The Capitoline Museum

One of our stops in Rome will be the Capitoline Museum, a great museum located atop the historical Capitoline Hill. The highlight, to me, is the Conservators' Apartment, which is lined with fantastic frescoes, telling the history of Rome. One fresco is devoted to the Rape of the Sabines, which we already discussed in some detail. The first room, though, is named after one of last night's readings, the Horatii and the Curiatii. A large version of the picture is available here.
