Themes in the Exhibition The residents of Antioch and its graceful southern suburb of Daphne were fond of lavish public baths and the drama and spectacle of the Greek theater and Roman blood sport, as well as private dinner parties in homes furnished with colorful mosaics with scenes from Greek myth.- Michael Bennett, CMA Associate Curator of Greek and Roman Art The exhibition presents Antioch's public and private life in four sections: The City of Antioch; Water and Entertainment; The Roman House; and Worship in the City. From the colonnaded avenue of the initial room one passes through a monumental arch to see works related to public bathing, theater, and sport. The exhibition includes a model of one of Antioch's public baths, plus silver and bronze helmets worn on parade and in gladiator combat.
