At midday on Monday 12th March the seventh edition of the exhibition of Roman skylights will be inaugurated in the neighbouring province. The travelling exhibition Luz de Roma leaves the province of Alicante for the first time to reach Molina de Segura, in the Region of Murcia. The extraordinary collection of oil lamps from the Roman period can be visited at the Enclave de la Muralla Museum until 31 May.
This is a unique collection of Roman skylights that will allow us to learn about the usefulness, shape and decoration of these small objects that changed over the centuries of Roman rule. We will be able to follow a chronological journey through the pieces, from the oldest to the most recent, starting in the Iberian period. The main body of the exhibition focuses on pieces from the Roman period, divided into its different stages: Republican, High-Imperial, Low-Imperial and Late Roman.
The exhibition is made up of a total of 43 pieces from the collections of the MARQ, the Monographic Museum of La Alcudia in Elche and the Municipal Archaeological Museum of Elda.
Luz de Roma has previously been exhibited in the Sala Noble of the MARQ Library, Callosa, Sax, Cocentaina, Elche and Crevillente and has been seen by almost 25,000 people.
