There are few cities in the world that frankly slap you in the face with ancient history. Where every turn, every moment you are greeted by a thousands of years of empire building. These are the images that define Rome to the world. They encapsulate the grandeur that it was and is. I imagine that to the inhabitants of his great city, these images become commonplace. Perhaps the kids say, “hey, wanna meet by the pantheon later for a beer?” But, in our short trip they were a shock to the senses. A testament to the power of the Roman empire and now, I believe, more a testament to the power of the church.
