1997
Have you seen how beautiful they are the Coliseum - above -, the Palatine Hill - above, right - and the Roman Forum - above, left - ? They've all been built in accordance with town-planning, not doing as Barbarians do, they who build anywhere! Some of these are coming anyway, and are called Palazzinarii. Hopefully they will not be imitated in future! In Vesta's Temple shade - here below a mobile team of Bonus Ęcologia is checking the water ( ... water?) flowing from Cloaca Maxima (Rome sewers), to prepare a cleaning project for the "Blond" Tevere. But, as we see it, we forecast a long time for the execution!
The Palatine Bridge - always under repair...- brings us in the pulsing heart of town, Trastevere. Here, amongst merchants and street-actors coming from everywhere, the working spirit of the town gives its best and shows its genius: these people really know how to work, well and hard!
The Legio (the Army) is Rome's true and only core business (a common catch phrase is "As we eat on the Legio we eat nowhere else") and if the Legioniarius needs proper gear we give it to him, by Jupiter! Shields, for instance, once made in bronze, are now compression-molded with "PCV Poliesteres cum Vitro" : same resistance, less weight. And what do you think of a serial production instead of artisanal one?
