#ARCHEOLOGIA / #Roma, l’Area Sacra di Largo Argentina riapre con un nuovo percorso di visita

La storia millenaria dell’Area Sacra di Largo Argentina, dal 20 giugno, si offre al pubblico con un nuovo percorso che per la prima volta consente di accedere al sito e visitarlo in modo sistematico, leggendone le fasi di vita dall’età repubblicana attraverso l’epoca imperiale e medievale, fino alla riscoperta avvenuta nel secolo scorso con le demolizioni degli anni Venti. I lavori, condotti…

Exploring Rome on the Hop On/Hop Off Bus

Exploring Rome on the Hop On/Hop Off Bus

What is more fun than boarding an overnight flight to Rome, only to find yourself waking up in La Citta Eterna?  With a full day ahead and an unending list of sites to explore, I couldn’t wait to board the train for Roma St. Pietro.  The Gemelli station was only a short walk from my hotel and within minutes, I had soon arrived.  I followed the directional signs pointing me towards St. Peter’s…

CONFESSION:

I really loved how a big part of the Storm Coast was based on the Giant's Causeway in Ireland and since the game is supposed to take place in Tevinter which is based on Rome, I would really love to see an area based on the actual The Area Sacra in Rome. Some of the ruins go back to the third century B.C. Its also become a haven for hundreds of cats. (The Archon is a cat lover) And its rumored to be haunted. This place is perfect for a Dragon Age version/homage!

Ancient ruins give us a fascinating window into the past..

Ancient ruins give us a fascinating window into the past: how people lived, the spaces they inhabited and their daily lives. Historians, architects and travellers alike marvel at these remnants of time past, but it’s often hard to get a sense of what these spectacular buildings would have looked like at their peak. We decided to step back in time and recreate some of our favorite ancient ruins in their original locations.

Tra i luoghi più antichi della città (risale all’età Repubblicana), ma anche tra i più recenti come scavo archeologico, il sito custodisce i resti di quattro templi ancora al centro del dibattito sulle possibili divinità cui erano dedicati. Soprattutto, è…
