  Statue of Sophocles (496-406 BC), Ancient Greek dramatist and poet. (Photo by Time Life Pictures/Mansell/Time Life Pictures/Getty Images). This image features Sophocles. Copyright: Time & Life Pictures The Lateran Museum (Museo Lateranense ) was a museum founded by the Popes and housed in the Lateran Palace , adjacent to the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome , Italy . It ceased to exist in 1970. Pope Gregory XVI (1831-1846) established the Museo Profano Lateranense (or Museo Gregoriano Profano ) in 1844 which was made up of statues, bas-relief sculptures and mosaics of the Roman era. It was expanded in 1854 under Pius IX (1846-1878) with the addition of the Museo Pio Cristiano . The collection was assembled by the archaeologists Father Giuseppe Marchi and Giovanni Battista de Rossi . Marchi collected the sculptured monuments of the early Christian ages, while de Rossi the ancient Christian inscriptions; a third department of the museum consisted of copies of some of the more important catacomb frescoes. Father Marchi was appointed the director of the new institution. In 1910, under the pontificate of Pius X (1903-1914), the Hebrew Lapidary (Lapidario Ebraico) was established. This section contained 137 inscriptions from ancient Hebrew cemeteries in Rome mostly from via Portuense. The Museo Missionario Etnografico was founded by Pius XI with the documents and relics exhibited in Rome at the Missionary Exposition in 1925, and included historical documents of Missions and relics from the people where these missions took place. The three collections were transferred, under the pontificate of Pope John XXIII (1958-1963), from the Lateran Palace to the Vatican. They were reopened to the public in 1970. Their collections are still called "ex Lateranense" to indicate their former place of display. The Lateran Palace is now occupied by the Museo Storico Vaticano which illustrates the history of the Papal States . It was moved to the palace in 1987 and inaugurated in 1991.

  Portrait of Archimedes Posters / $9.40
  
  
  
  Portrait of Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes (287-212 B.C). (Photo by Time Life Pictures/Mansell/Time Life Pictures/Getty Images). This image features Archimedes. Copyright: Time & Life Pictures Archimedes of Syracuse (Greek : Ἀρχιμήδης ; c. 287 BC – c. 212 BC) was a Greek mathematician , physicist , engineer , inventor , and astronomer . Although few details of his life are known, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity . Among his advances in physics are the foundations of hydrostatics , statics and an explanation of the principle of the lever . He is credited with designing innovative machines , including siege engines and the screw pump that bears his name. Modern experiments have tested claims that Archimedes designed machines capable of lifting attacking ships out of the water and setting ships on fire using an array of mirrors. Archimedes is generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time. He used the method of exhaustion to calculate the area under the arc of a parabola with the summation of an infinite series , and gave a remarkably accurate approximation of pi . He also defined the spiral bearing his name, formulae for the volumes of surfaces of revolution and an ingenious system for expressing very large numbers. Archimedes died during the Siege of Syracuse when he was killed by a Roman soldier despite orders that he should not be harmed. Cicero describes visiting the tomb of Archimedes, which was surmounted by a sphere inscribed within a cylinder . Archimedes had proven that the sphere has two thirds of the volume and surface area of the cylinder (including the bases of the latter), and regarded this as the greatest of his mathematical achievements. Unlike his inventions, the mathematical writings of Archimedes were little known in antiquity. Mathematicians from Alexandria read and quoted him, but the first comprehensive compilation was not made until c. 530 AD by Isidore of Miletus , while commentaries on the works of Archimedes written by Eutocius in the sixth century AD opened them to wider readership for the first time. The relatively few copies of Archimedes' written work that survived through the Middle Ages were an influential source of ideas for scientists during the Renaissance , while the discovery in 1906 of previously unknown works by Archimedes in the Archimedes Palimpsest has provided new insights into how he obtained mathematical results.
