Come to Rome and have a hug with Europe 2000 years ago.
Rome was supposed to be synonymous with the whole of ancient Europe, and its history dates back more than 3,000 of years, when the Trojans eventually occupied and bloodied the city in order to compete for the beauty of the time, and the survivors fled all the way to the West, starting with the first Rome. From the founding of this country more than 500 years BC, to the collapse of the entire empire more than 400 BC, this stretch of thousands of years of history, this country from the small city-states to the conquest of the whole of Italy, with generations of monarchs after unremitting efforts, they have a very great map across the three continents, The whole Mediterranean became the inner sea of this country. Come to Rome, not to see the scenery here, but to see the monuments here, walking here in the street as if to hold a hug with Europe 2000 years ago.
The iconic building that locals are most proud of should be their Colosseum. It can no longer be said to be a legacy of the world, but a miracle of the world, because this is the epitome of more than 500 years of imperial culture, this building is not only unprecedented in scale, but also very parasitized, its overall structure is very reasonable, Central is the performance area, the ground is paved with planks, underground is all the organs and underpasses, is a bit similar to the current backstage, outside has layers of stands, more than 60 rows of stands are divided into 5 areas, not only can provide VIP and aristocratic and the then rich merchant nobles use, but also to citizens and the bottom of the women, each layer of the auditorium has its own exit, each other does not interfere with each other, in the event of problems, Within 5 minutes, the audience will be able to evacuate quickly from the entire site.
More than 2000 years ago, in this 80,000-man arena, the sports presented were a bitter battle between people, between people and beasts, and they gambled on each other with their lives, a history that should have been a blood-stained history, and now people are turning the war to a wider space and richer scenes, Recreate a layer of warm veil and human signs, but in fact, there is no difference in the nature of scrutiny. The arena was 80,000 slaves who took 10 years to build, and on the day of its completion the people here revelled for nearly more than 100 days, with 3,000 slaves and 5,000 beasts fighting bloody here, and eventually they died together. From visitors from all over the world now, what can you feel when facing this relic? is to feel the state of the building itself, or because of the knowledge of the history and panic, is the historical curiosity and envy of the time, or the hatred of war and boredom, in the blood-stained land has the present warmth, but also has some troubles.
Not far away is the bazaar of ancient Rome, where the age of the market is more ancient than the arena if it is carefully pursued. Development so far, it should have been more than 2,500 years of history. More than 2,500 years ago, China should still be in the spring and autumn warring States period, but in this land they have set up a republic. When they came to power, in the next 500 years, the entire Republic of the east of the Western War. The expansion of their city-states into the whole continent. Standing on the high hillside, overlooking the circumstances, if the victorious army returned, the carriage was loaded with rare supplies, and the streets were full of aristocratic merchant slaves, as well as the prostitutes of the time. Although time is more than 2000 years apart, but the space is still this space, in front of the broken wreckage, seems to be able to bring you into the memory of the moment.
If you walk down the streets of New York for a 200-year building, you should be called a monument, but the buildings here, not in the wind and rain for thousands of years, are embarrassed to be called a monument. The city is an ancient city and a city that has witnessed countless wind and rain. The Senate, in front of the incomplete stone steps, can also find the place where Caesar was assassinated at that time, after more than 2000 years of wind and frost, but also after so many mutiny and man-made disasters, but still able to discern that this is the power center of the Republic, those elders in the stretched of the robe, It is still very valuable to think of that picture so far.
In fact, in terms of the determination of value, the stability of the ancient political system requires two models, the first is a very solid democratic foundation, and the other is an extremely strong dictator. In fact, the whole development of ancient Rome has had a few attempts at aristocratic democracy to equal democracy, but each time it ended in failure, the aristocratic class seems to be a solid plate, they will make their own interests together, this sector is not a two just love the democratic CNDP can be ripped open, Since the direction of democratization cannot walk, it is natural for the Republic to begin the evolution of another direction, the later Roman Empire.
The Pantheon is now the only preserved imperial architecture, which has a history of more than more than 2000 years and is similar in appearance to the Pantheon in Paris, but it is about more than 1000 years earlier than the latter, and in terms of positioning it is dedicated to the gods of the Olympia Mountains, as well as to the tombs of successive kings. The overall architectural style is very unique, the huge circular shrine does not have a pillar, 43 meters in diameter, the top height is also 43 meters, there are no windows, only the dome symbolizing the sky can be cast down the sun. Seems to represent a magical bond connection, connecting the distance between heaven and earth.
It was also a miracle throughout the history of architecture, when architects had a wealth of building knowledge and complex calculations to build this unprecedented building. The city exists in many films, strolling through the alleys, where you can see the finesse and chic of people's lives, whether it is a small restaurant on the side of the road or some small shops on the street, as long as the mind to browse, will find amazing things, these food may not be delicious, But light is enough to be tasted from the point of view, and there are many connections between the taste buds and attributes of food. The bazaar is also like a tourist. Although the porcelain here is not exquisite, but the color is very showy, it is like the city in the sun.
