Roman culture lies at the heart of much of contemporary culture around the world, and represents an unparalleled example of both physical and cultural sustainability, combining timeless art and architecture with one of the richest archaeological patrimonies in the world.
About The American Institute for Roman Culture
The American Institute for Roman Culture works tirelessly to preserve and protect Rome’s extraordinary and unique cultural legacy through education, outreach, and action.
We carry out our mission through international collaborations as well as the production of original content from Rome: photos, videos, webinars, and conversation on location.
Mission
To engage and inspire everyone with Rome’s cultural heritage through free educational resources, including our multidisciplinary learning hub, Ancient Rome Live. We believe it’s important to investigate the past to encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. Our content is produced on location, and is deeply contextualized thanks to strong relationships with the caretakers of Rome’s legacy.
Vision
We believe that understanding Rome is an essential pathway to understanding human history and culture in such areas as: art, architecture, engineering, urban planning, law, economics, religion, archaeology, heritage preservation, and conservation. We also believe that studying Rome’s varied, layered past provides a more nuanced view of the world today and will help shape a more curious, open-minded, and tolerant global society.
