The Aqueducts<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

When you hear the word Rome what\u2019s the first thing you think of? The Vatican? The Coliseum? The Pantheon? The Roman Empire? Maybe it\u2019s none of these and your mind goes directly to the delicious pasta and pizza. I don\u2019t blame you. Time for lunch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>What makes Rome so common in the realm of conversation is its rich history. It placed its stamp on the arts, architecture, democracy, and religion long before any of us were alive. The monuments, food, churches, and historical figures are things people know and hear about, but their significance is often still a mystery. This may be because it\u2019s easy to view something like The Coliseum or St. Peter\u2019s Basilica and get lost in what you see. You are in awe over the construction and that\u2019s enough for the day. It takes some effort to know the reason it was built, the function it has served, and why it\u2019s more than something to stare at. It\u2019s not a bad thing to marvel over the beauty of these special structures, but it\u2019s more meaningful when you understand it at a deeper level.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
