Vatican Exhibit - Rome Reborn

http://sunsite.unc.edu/expo/vatican.exhibit/Vatican.exhibit.html

An exhibit on the rebuild of Rome in the Renaissance. Paraphrasing the exhibits introduction: Rome was not always the grand city it is today or was in classical times. By the fourteenth century, the great ancient city had dwindled to a miserable village. In the Renaissance the popes returned, and drew on the riches of Renaissance art and architecture to adorn the urban fabric, which they saw as a tangible proof of the power and glory of the church. And they attracted pilgrims from all of Christian Europe, whose alms and living expenses made the city rich once more.

A Roman Palace in ex-Yugoslavia Michael Greenhalgh

http://sunsite.unc.edu/expo/palace.exhibit/intro.html

"A unique structure from the Later Roman Empire. The city of Spalato, which means "little palace", was founded by the emperor Diocletian; he made it his own dwelling-place, and built within it a court and a palace, most part of which has been destroyed. But a few things remain to this day, e.g. the episcopal residence of the city and the church of St Domnus, in which St Domnus himself lies, and which was the resting-place of the same emperor Diocletian."

1492 Exhibit Library of Congress (USA)

http://sunsite.unc.edu/expo/1492.exhibit/Intro.html

"The exhibition examines the first sustained contacts between American people and European explorers, conquerors and settlers from 1492 to 1600. During this period, in the wake of Columbus's voyages, Africans also arrived in the hemisphere, usually as slaves. All of these encounters, some brutal and traumatic, others more gradual, irreversibly changed the way in which peoples in the Americas led their lives."
