Salve, Formose -
A delightful encounter, that one was, and lovely to read of. The single time I was in Europa, I had a couple of good moments that I keep (the actual souvenirs are in our memories).
But I never went to Rome during that trip. In my younger days, an immature age 20, I was a bit of nervous wreck, and having heard stories of the crowds of Rome, and being also ignorant at that time of what I might enjoy in Rome - for I was convinced that the forum was even less in evidence than it actually was - it turned me away from my one chance to go. And I have yet to make it up!
It's a pity we haven't each of us more denarii so that we could all meet there - you and Lucia Livia Plauta might even alternate days as our guides to enjoying the City.
Optime vale.
