1186 fragments of a 3rd-century map of the city of Rome have gradually surfaced since 1562. They have been studied and drawn, used in repair work, lost and sometimes destroyed or rediscovered. Considered one of the rarest documents from antiquity, a museum close to the Colosseum was set up this year to chart the Forma Urbis and its amazing history.
