A Preview
"You are standing in the middle of ancient Rome. Or, more accurately, on top of it — because the ancient city is buried about thirty feet under your shoes, and the Rome you're about to walk through spent centuries as farmland with ruins poking out of the weeds. This is a place where the most famous building on Earth is named after a giant bronze statue that no longer exists."
