spqr...(15/11)


Pillars fall and columns stand, and then another pillar appears to be pulled off. There is never a stagnant stage of a civilisation; except the history itself that has not been interpreted, if yet, by the following generations...as a long life capital, the city opens up my eyes to the affluent past and present, quoted the spirit of senatus populus que romanus ('spqr'), and this is the one. Simply wandering everywhere and nowhere, the displayed carnival of endless extension of churches and statues fill up the memory of my mind. As a basic pilgrimage from Christianity to the Roman civilisation, from the unknown nature of the past to the Roman interpretation to our world, all are just stunning. The city, like many historic towns, overlaps layers of era at the central areas. The whirling shape of little streets and peddle roads tell a story themselves. Geographically, Rome is built on seven hill slopes and worship to every district requires a minimum demand to climb up the high ground to discover a different view of life and time...

Roughly scanned through several important buildings and features along the time line of Rome, I was told how minimal I know about the civilisation. It worths a more indepth visit.
