THE great Greek inventor of antiquity, Archimedes, is the star of an unprecedented exhibition in Rome, which includes modern applications of some of his best-known discoveries.
"We owe him some revolutionary inventions," said Umberto Broccoli, head of cultural heritage in the Italian capital. "He was a precursor to Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein - an inventive genius par excellence."
The exhibition runs through January 12.
Archimedes, born in 287 BC, was a physicist, engineer, astronomer and inventor. He combined mathematical reasoning and the formulation of theories that are still taught in schools 2,300 years later, to achieve concrete solutions.
