Description   
For the Romans it was considered important to decorate the façade of structures. With this aim they created a rich sculpture. Niches on external and internal faces became the principal areas of large-scale sculptural carving.

In this hall there are examples from three important centres in the ancient world where this kind of sculpture came to flourish : Aphrodisias, Ephesus and Miletus.
