Loaded with thousands of years of history, perhaps it’s got a lot in common with my own city, Athens, but it’s also got a lot of differences.I’d say that an essential difference lies in the fact that all the important monuments of Rome are much better preserved, organized and presented, in comparison with the ones of Athens.
