Love the Rome pics, specially now that I am reading The First Man In Rome (Masters of Rome series). Which makes me wonder what would go through the mind of an ancient Roman, from a time their city was the or second largest city in the world, pinnacle of civilization in the mediterranean area... and bring them to the future and behold these 21st century cities.

probably same thing that went through the mind of the sub-saharan gladiator, Juba, when he arrived in Rome at the Gladiator movie: "I didn't know men could build such things. "
