Until 27 September 2026, a major multi-venue exhibition brings together three leading cultural institutions in Rome—the National Roman Museum (Baths of Diocletian), the Colosseum Archaeological Park (Temple of Romulus), and VIVE (the Vittoriano and Palazzo Venezia)—to explore the historical relationship between numismatics, propaganda, and power.

At the VIVE venue (Sala Zanardelli), the exhibition opens up to a dialogue with contemporary art. Among the works on display are two historic pieces by Cesare Pietroiusti, whose inclusion is particularly significant. Through the artist's characteristic conceptual investigation of systems of exchange, the works question the symbolic and economic value of money, creating a compelling dialogue with the exhibition's historical narrative.
