That's awesome! The Amphitheatre Castrense sounds amazing. I've only ever hit the big-ticket Roman sights myself. You're right, there's probably a treasure trove of information locked away in that graffiti. Someone with a background in epigraphy (or maybe even a really dedicated Roman history enthusiast!) could probably make a career out of deciphering it all. It’s a shame you didn’t take more photos, but even a few would be interesting. Maybe try searching online for academic papers on Roman graffiti – you might find something related. Failing that, a local history society in Rome might be worth contacting; they'd likely know about any existing research or be interested in your observations.

Yeah, Parco delle Energie is a bit of a blank canvas, isn't it? It's got the space, the sculptures are interesting... but it lacks that je ne sais quoi. I could see it really popping off with some food trucks on weekends – maybe a rotating selection, keeping things fresh. Also, maybe some outdoor movie nights during the summer? Or even just a regular weekend market with local artisans. A little more regular programmed activity would draw more people in and create a better atmosphere. Think smaller, local festivals celebrating Roman culture, maybe? Rome has so much to offer, bringing that energy to the park itself would be amazing.
