I just really want to go here some day…I don’t know when, exactly. It’s just so beautiful, so many amazing things from my favorite era of history took place here, and it used to be the center of the most powerful empire in the western world. I would probably have to go to Cannae, the site of Hannibal’s brilliant but ultimately fruitless victory against Rome…if there’s still anything at all to see there.
PS:
I almost forgot…I HAVE to go to Venice, the settlement founded by roman exiles fleeing from the barbarians tearing their homelands apart, hiding in a marshy area filled with hidden inlets—a former sea power, center of commerce and art, and staging area for the crusades. How romantic.
