Soak up
With all your senses
The Eternal City:
Ancient playground of gods
Fertile seedbed of legends
Feared seat of empire-builders
Gore-stained arena of gladiators
Dusty parade of soldiers
Muse-filled gallery of artists
Colourful canvass of architects
Taste parlour of connoisseurs
Intoxicating goblet of wine
Floodlit stage of sports-heroes
Nectar trap for tourists
Living history-book of people
