公元97年,时值东汉和帝永元九年,班超遣甘英出使大秦,至条支,为安息人所阻,临海而返,使得当时东西方两大帝国——中国和罗马失去了一次绝好的直面机会。两千年后,在上海博物馆,中国观众则有机会直面来自古罗马帝国本土意大利的历史文物,亲身感受这一伟大帝国的博大精神和永恒的艺术魅力。 In 97 AD, when the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Yongyuan were nine years old, the class supervised by Gan Ying led the Daqin up to the point where they were blocked by the Rebels and returned to the sea. At that time, the two great empires of the East and the West, China and Rome, lost one time Excellent opportunity to face. Two thousand years later, in the Shanghai Museum, Chinese audiences have the chance to face the historical artifacts from the native Italy of the ancient Roman Empire and experience the grand spirit and eternal artistic charm of this great empire.
