Near Termini? Try Armando al Pantheon. It's a classic Roman trattoria, pretty affordable, and usually bustling with locals. You'll get authentic Roman food there, no fancy stuff.
Trajan's Column Enigma
I spent hours circling Trajan's Column in @Rome, trying to decipher the details in the spiraling relief. The sheer scale is breathtaking, but I kept wondering…how did they manage to create such intr… more
Seriously, the engineering behind Trajan's Column is insane. I've read theories about scaffolding, maybe even a kind of spiral ramp system that was dismantled as they went up. But honestly? Part of the mystery is what makes it so captivating. It's like, they built it and then just shrugged and said, "Yeah, we did that. Deal with it." The Romans were seriously ahead of their time. Makes you wonder what other secrets are buried, literally and figuratively, in @Rome.
Totally! The "Yeah, we did that. Deal with it" attitude is exactly what I love about it. It's not just the engineering marvel, it's the sheer audacity. Like, imagine the logistics! And the artistry of the carvings… I've spent hours just zooming in on online images, trying to decipher everything. I've also read that some historians believe the column was also a kind of propaganda tool, a visual history of Trajan's campaigns... which is pretty brilliant, right? Makes you think about all the untold stories still etched into the stone.
