Cipro (Rome Metro)

Cipro (formerly Cipro–Musei Vaticani) is an underground station on Line A of the Rome Metro, inaugurated in 1999.

In the open-air atrium below street level, some archeological finds, found in 1993/94 during the digging of the Ottaviano-Battistini section of Line A, are exhibited.

They include a 3rd-century CE sarcophagus in Carrara marble, a funerary ash urn, and some inscriptions; in the neighbourhood, which in ancient times was out of Rome proper, there was a large burial ground, on both sides of Via Triumphalis.

In 1991, the municipality of Rome planned to call the station Mosca (Moscow).

[1] To reciprocate, a Moscow Metro station was named Rimskaya (Roman).
