Unarguably one of the most influential men in World history, they have finally opened up Octavian's palace on the palatine hill in Rome, its fantastic to be able to see the rooms where this man once lived and planned his domination of the Roman world from.

Awesome amazing glimps. I would still be very worried about the fragility of the environment not so sure people should be allowed in at all. That's what is great about the internet I don't have to be there to feel and see the wonder. :cool:

Thanks for the link Dr. G. ;)
ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"
