The American Institute for Roman Culture believes in the power and outreach of the various social media platforms to engage a wide, global audience, from the expert to the interested, to further discussion on antiquity, ancient Rome and its legacy in today’s society, and ways to connect to the past.
Collaboration with Museum Week is a unique way to connect to thousands of people worldwide under the auspices of museums as engaging, accessible structures for conversation and new perspectives. As a result of the collaboration, Institute Director Darius Arya was one of the top five individual influencers this year.
