1. Il Giardivο / The Garden Marker
Fin dall'istituzione del Museo Nazionale Romano, nel 1889, il Giardino fu destinato a esporre numerosi reperti archeologici provenienti da Roma e dal suburbio, databili tra la fine del I secolo a.C. e il III secolo d.C. Ai lati dell'ingresso del Giardino sono disposti altari funerari iscritti, mentre nel viale che conduce al Museo si incontrano statue di personaggi in toga oltre a numerosi elementi architettonici (colonne, capitelli, architravi), provenienti da diversi edifici antichi; nella fontana centrale domina l'imponente massa del cratere colossale giΰ descritta da D'Annunzio nel 1897: "...nel cortile θ un grande vaso donde sgorga la verzura... La verzura nasconde gli amorini scolpiti sotto il labbro del vaso: colonne mozze, coronate di capitelli corrosi, urne....". Intorno alla fontana sono statue femminili e altari funerari iscritti di grandi dimensioni. Di fronte all'ingresso del Museo sono disposti sarcofagi e statue funerarie. Nei viali laterali sono esposte stele e cippi funerari, in travertino e marmo.
