Rome, Italy

Recorded August 24, 2008.
Rome is the capital city in Italy, and its largest and most populous city, with 2,726,539 residents. It is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, on the Tiber river. Rome's history as a city spans over two and a half thousand years, as one of the founding cities of Western Civilisation. It was the centre of the Roman Empire, which dominated Europe, North Africa and the Middle East for four hundred years from the 1st Century BC till the 4th Century AD. Rome has a significant place in the story of Christianity up to the present day as the home of the Roman Catholic Church and the site of the Vatican City, an independent city-state run by the Catholic Church within as an enclave of Rome.
Our tour begins at the Triumph Arc of Emperor Constantine. Next we tour the Colosseum. After driving past the ruins of Caracalla Baths, Circus Maximus and the Victoriano we visit Trevi Fountain. From the rooftop terrace of the hotel where we had lunch there were sweeping views of the eternal city. The video concludes in Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica.
