2,000-year-old Roman mosaic marvels sparkle at Humayun's Tomb Museum

NEW DELHI: In an extraordinary cultural event that bridges centuries and civilizations, five ancient Roman mosaics – each over 2,000 years old – have made their historic debut in India at Delhi's Humayun's Tomb Museum. Titled 'MOSAICO: Italian Code of a Timeless Art,' the exhibition marks the first time these rare treasures from Rome's esteemed Capitoline Museums are being showcased on Indian soil. The exhibition has been open to the public from April 12 to August 30, offering free admission to all. Curated by Magister Art and presented by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in collaboration with the Italian Embassy Cultural Centre in Delhi, MOSAICO combines rare ancient artworks with immersive multimedia storytelling. Visitors are guided through seven thematic stations that trace the evolution of mosaic art from ancient times to the present, showcasing celebrated locations such as Pompeii, Aquileia, Ravenna, Palermo, Monreale, Piazza Armerina, and even the sunken city of Baiae. The crown jewels of the exhibition are five original Roman mosaics on loan from the Capitoline Museums – some of which have never left Italy before. These exquisite pieces, rich with historical and artistic significance, offer a tangible connection to the grandeur of the Roman civilization. 'It feels surreal,' said Aditi Sharma, a history student from Delhi University. 'Standing in front of these mosaics is like stepping into a Roman villa. It's humbling to see how art survives empires and still speaks to us.' The innovative fusion of ancient craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology is captivating visitors. 'The projections and ambient sounds made the mosaics come alive. It's not just an exhibition, it's an experience,' said Rahul Verma, a graphic designer. 'You walk through history, guided by light and sound.'

Archaeologists Found an Ancient Roman Camp Outside the Empire's Known Limits

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: A Roman army camp discovered in the Netherlands expands the knowledge of how far north the empire's boundary extended. Located north of the Rhine River, the camp was found in the Veluwe region of the Netherlands. Experts believe the site was a stopover camp for troops marching to new locations. A new discovery of a Roman army marching camp changes what we know about the frontier boundaries of the empire beyond the Rhine River. The camp was located within the forested Veluwe in the Netherlands, near Hoog Buurlo, about 15 miles north of the Rhine, long considered the empire's northernmost border in the area. 'What makes this find so remarkable is that the camp lies beyond the northern frontier of the Roman Empire,' Saskia Stevens, Utrecht University associate professor and researcher, said in a statement. As part of the Constructing the Limes project undertaking by Utrecht University staff and students at Saxion University of Applied Sciences, Amsterdam Center for Ancient Studies and Archaeology, and Radbound University Nijmegen, researchers aim to explore the functioning of Roman borders that ran through the Netherlands and western Germany. The newly discovered 22-acre camp features a ditch, a 10-foot-wide defensive rampart, and several entrances. The team believes it was a temporary marching camp, used to shelter troops for no more than a few days to weeks as they moved to new camps. They posit it was a stopover between Hoog Buurlo and Ermelo-Leuvenum, a day's march away. 'Only four such temporary Roman camps are known in the Netherlands,' Stevens said, though dozens have been found in Germany and hundreds in Britain. 'We are particularly interested in these kinds of camps because they provide valuable insights into Roman military presence and operations in frontier regions. They help us understand the routes taken by Roman troops and show how the Romans made extensive use of territories beyond the formal boundaries of their empire.' Finding the camp at Veluwe required LiDAR technology. Coupled with aerial photographs, researchers were able to see subtle variations in the landscape heights. That launched field work that included metal detectors and three different trench examinations at a site owned by the Dutch Forestry Commission, which has ensured it has remained largely preserved. Since the team didn't come away with a bounty of artifacts during the on-the-ground search, Stevens said it is difficult to precisely date the site, although the traces of remnants left suggest the camp is from the second century A.D. 'The feeling of bringing tangible evidence from the past to light was an unforgettable experience for all of us,' student Sabine Boschma wrote in a translated statement. 'With this find, we contribute to the further reconstruction of the Roman Limes and the way in which this history still plays a role in our contemporary landscape.'
