You can also learn about quietly effective resistance, like the work of Raissa & Guido Calza, archaeologists at Ostia who smuggled Roman Jewish refugees out from the city in supply wagons and hid them in the Ostia necropolis till boats could take them to safety, all while using Mussolini's money.

There is a lot out there on Mussolini's uses of Roman archaeology, and learning about it will definitely give you some critical thoughts to use towards projects today about ancient Rome that get funding from fascists (just say no to fascist funds)
