So the French don’t like to remember that the Romans walked all over them? They should be used to it.

The architectural legacy of the Romans in France is incredibly rich. The South of France is full of Roman ruins. In the little towns of Arles, Nimes,and Orange, there are Roman temples and a colosseum in almost perfect condition.

There are times when I think that the standing order for the Roman Legions was; “Don’t just stand there, BUILD SOMETHING!” When you see these kind of works I think that we see one of the reasons that we, as a civilization, hearken back to Rome, its bones are our birthplace. The Jefferson Memorial could have been transplanted direct yet it so suits our sensibilities. Thanks for this post!

Roman building makes me think we haven’t progressed nearly as much as we should have.

...and all that history washed away in 3 decades, due to a single generation of people with a misguided GUILT-COMPLEX.

Back to the Dark Ages for Europe...and best of luck there.

The imagery of the article would have worked better had the play been Antigone or some such. To be instantly tranported back 2000 years while seeing a performance of Carmen? Not so much.
