Press Release: Digital tech gives you the keys to the Roman Empire

A new exhibition was launched on the 23 September 2014 in four different cities, representing key areas of the Roman Empire: Rome (Italy), Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Alexandria (Egypt). ‘Keys to Rome’ (#K2R) was organised by an EU-funded network of archaeologists, art historians, architects, computer scientists and communication experts.

The four museums involved were the Imperial Fora Museum (Rome), the City Hall of Sarajevo, the Allard Pierson Museum (Amsterdam) and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (Alexandria). Their Roman collections were discovered through a digital itinerary using computer graphics movies, natural interaction installations, multimedia and mobile apps.
