The quote "Greece was conquered by Rome, then it conquered Rome" helps explain the long journey taken by Greek sculptures from inaccessible Greek ruins to the verdant villas of Malibu, California. A new exhibition with over 150 masterpieces -- sculptures, bronzes and ceramics -- including some major and some little-known, from the Coliseum, elsewhere in Rome and even beyond, helps chart this long and eventful voyage.
