Un nouvel espace archéologique s'ouvre au public à Rome , il s'agit des thermes de Trajan à l'intérieur duquel on peut découvrir notamment une fresque d’environ 10 m2 en cours de restauration, la cité peinte, représentant une ville de l'Empire romain non identifiée ainsi qu'une grande mosaïque, La Muse et le Philosophe aux couleurs encore vives et représentant des personnages d'un remarquable réalisme. Les thermes de Trajan, situés au sommet du Colle Oppio, non loin du Colisée, constituent le premier exemple de "grands thermes" à Rome et ont été construits selon les plans de l'architecte le plus célèbre de l'époque, Apollodore de Damas. La construction de ces thermes, d'une superficie à l'époque de 60 000 m2, a été lancée par l'empereur Trajan en 104 après J.-C., et il les a inaugurés en 109 après J.-C. Malheureusement dans premier temps, il n'ouvrira que les weeks ends et par groupe de 15 visiteurs accompagnés autant dire qu'il faut bien préparer sa visite en amont. Le maire de Rome lui-même, Roberto Gualtieri, nous le fait découvrir.
