Binta Robinson is a licensed attorney, who is a member of the District of Columbia Bar. Outside of work, Binta Robinson has traveled to several European destinations, including Positano, a town on Italy’s Amalfi Coast.
Positano is famous for its multi-colored vertical wall of centuries-old homes overlooking one of the Mediterranean’s best beaches. It is believed to have been founded in the ninth century of the Common Era and was a thriving port for many years. It was the site of luxurious villas, whose ruins were a key tourist attraction during the Roman era.
The new Museo Archeologico Romano offers a three-dimensional glimpse into history by letting visitors explore one such villa, on top of which was later constructed, the Church of SS. Maria Assunta. The underground areas feature a large triclinium, a dining room in which ancient Romans reclined as they ate. Also prominent are wall paintings of the fourth Pompeian style, similar to those buried in the famous eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in the year 79 of the Common Era.
Striking a balance between the preservation of priceless antiquities and the curiosity of modern visitors, glass stairways allow viewers to examine the triclinium. Other exhibits are displayed in corridors built into the rock, supplemented by LCDs.
