Il Museo Archeologico “Lavinium” is located in Pomezia (RM) on Via Pratica di Mare, a few meters from the medieval village that stands on the ancient city of Lavinium founded by the mythical Trojan hero Aeneas. The Museum highlights the close connection between the city of Lavinium and its mythical founder. An entire section is dedicated to Aeneas, illustrating the themes of his journey and the type of boat used by the contemporaries of the Trojan hero around 1200 BC. The displayed artifacts and illustrative apparatuses mainly emphasize the aura of religiosity that surrounded the ancient Latin center. Indeed, the great sanctuaries of Minerva and the XIII altars are the main themes developed along the route. This is an absolutely innovative Museum, where the traditional exhibition coexists with the highest multimedia technologies; technological tools and plastic reconstructions manage to mediate all historical data that are not visible, making them visible and therefore understandable. The ancient world is in perfect synergy with the modern one, and every archaeological find becomes the protagonist of a real entertainment work aimed at the meticulous knowledge of the past.
