Abstract
In the center of the hall designated for the display of artifacts belonging to the Roman period, a group of columns, plinths and capitals lie laid on a metal platform. From the wall behind, a dynamic, silvery-white Ring of Light dominates the columns, revealing their form, material, and origin through 10 dynamic and continuous forms of Light, evoking the life and history of the columns. The ring since ancient Roman times has symbolized Eternity.
