Are We Doing Something Wrong?

Maybe this is not the proper way to enter the Eternal City .... but whats an ole codger to do? We could not find a gate that would open so I led the way and Ken followed.

From 800 to 600 BC, Rome was ruled by seven Latin and Etruscan Kings. But in 5090 BC the Romans established a Republic. A long period of civil war ended with Julius Caesaar's defeat of Pompeii in 48 BC.

Rome was gradually transformed to Christianity during the 4th centruy.

Eventually, Rome's over-extended empire became top heavy with it's own bureaucracy and in 395 AD, the Empire was split in two and soon fell into decline. The Dark Ages descended on Rome by the 5th century.
