Casts of all the panels are on display individually at eye level in one long room at The Museum of Roman Civilization (Il Museo Della Civilta Romana) in the Roman suburb of EUR. You can get as close to the panels as you like. The museum is a ten minute Metro ride south on Line B from the Colosseum station. Get off at station EUR Fermi and walk a few blocks to Piazza Gianni Agnelli. This is one of the most fascinating and yet rarely visited museums in the vicinity of Rome. There's a separate room devoted to the Roman military with a huge representation mounted on the wall of the terrain and the Roman circumvallation at Alesia. This museum is also the one which houses the vast and famous room size model of Rome at the time of Constantine seen in countless books and films, the most recent being Gladiator. <p></p><i></i>
