Rome above and below

We had the perfect guide today in Rome, a local "Jonathan" who knew everything about Colosseum, Forum Romanum and the Palatine Hill. Well his insight was more in depth on the structures after soaring above them for years with his gull(able) friends whereas his historic knowledge was lacking a bit, but we apoligized him for that as he made it up with imaginative description of life in Rome year 100 A.D. For every footstep you take in Rome, there are thousands of stories that can be told and you certainly feel the weight of history in every glance that you throw! In case you know of someone that has invented a time machine please let me know for I would like to be able to visit those places when they were at their prime!
