The most famous piece here is the Alexander Mosaic, a huge representation of the battle between Alexander the Great and Darius III of Persia. At the Ground floor you will discover the Farnese Collection and its marvelous marbles, especially the Farnese Hercules and the Farnese Bull were both originally hosted at the Baths of Caracalla and they are among the most impressive you will come across.
