A Preview

"There it is. The most recognizable building on the planet. And it's named after a statue that isn't here. When this thing opened, right next door stood a bronze figure of the emperor Nero, remade as the sun god — about a hundred feet tall, taller than the Statue of Liberty from foot to torch. Romans called it the Colossus."
