As soon as I approached the scenic spot, I was attracted by the angel sculptures on both sides of the bridge. When entering Castel Sant'Angelo, you must go to the top to have a look, where you can overlook many ancient monuments on the other side of the river, including a corner of the Colosseum. In addition, the sandwiches at the Central Cafe are good and cheap, but you have to sit there to eat. If the sun is strong, it will be too hot and there is basically no shade.

This small but exquisite museum was originally the private residence of Borghese. There are several sculptures in the house that are amazing. Outside the museum is the Borghese Park. After visiting the museum, you can continue to enjoy the passing of time in the park. It is worth a visit.

Roman Forum and the Colosseum are amazing historical places everyone should see. The tickets, adult + child x2 full experience are the best for the value we have paid.

The fountain at the Spanish Steps in Rome is called the "Fountain of the Broken Ship". It is one of the famous Baroque fountains in Rome and is located in the center of the Spanish Square. The main body of the fountain is a broken ship half submerged in water, with water overflowing from all sides of the ship, symbolizing the scene after the flood recedes. This unique design not only solves the problem of insufficient water pressure in the low-lying areas of the square, but also gives the fountain a very high artistic value. The meaning of the Broken Ship Fountain is "the ship of heaven", symbolizing the persistence of faith in disasters.

## Skeletons of Victory: The Millennium Paradox of the Arch of Constantine When the giant shadow of the Colosseum expands behind you, you suddenly encounter this arch blackened by time - it is like a bronze medal inlaid on the artery of the empire, and the three arches swallow and spit out the storms of twenty centuries. Don't be deceived by the mottled appearance: this ancestor of the Western triumphal arch is actually a shocking artistic plagiarism, and each relief is revealing the absurd nature of the game of power. **The Rubik's Cube of Power Made of Reliefs**. Get close to the north column and take a closer look: the top layer is a bear hunting picture from the Hadrian era, the middle layer plagiarizes the war scene of Trajan Forum, and the bottom layer actually appropriates the relief of Marcus Aurelius's captive offering! The carving styles of different dynasties coexist strangely on the door frame - Constantine's craftsmen dismantled the glory of the previous dynasty and collaged it into the coronation robe of the new emperor. As the setting sun dyed the profiles of the soldiers of Trajan's legion golden red, they were stabbing the wild deer of Hadrian's era with spears in their hands, and the absurdity ran through their spines like an electric current: the so-called eternal victory was nothing but a carefully choreographed Inception. **The toes of the angels hung in the cracks of history**. Looking up at the broken monument of the pavilion, four stone statues of Dacian captives were chained and kneeling for a thousand years. Among them, a stubborn fig tree emerged from the crack of the left knee of the captive in the southeast corner! At dusk, the homing swifts flew over the empty eye sockets of the stone statues, and the sound of their wings startled the ripe fruits, and the purple-red juice spread on the ground of the doorway like old blood stains. This wild tree born from the bones of the empire is like the most pungent metaphor: the monument of the conqueror will eventually become the seedbed of life. **The triumphal procession of ghosts under the moonlight**. At midnight, I avoided the crowds and sat alone on the steps of the Arc de Triomphe. When the lights of the Colosseum went out, a miracle happened: the marks on the arch suddenly turned into dragons of torches, and the sound of elephants and chains floated in the wind. The Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD, which determined the fate of Christianity, was reproduced here - you can see Constantine's army rushing through the doorway with the La Brand Banner, but the reflection strangely turned into a cross shape. At this time, touching the inner wall of the doorway, the folds of the goddess of victory polished by pilgrims, I don't know when half a modern copper coin was embedded, and the ancient Roman silver dinar coin looked at each other faintly in the moonlight. Before leaving, please look for the mysterious graffiti on the west side of the arch: "omnia vanitas" (everything is empty) engraved by a medieval monk. When the morning light first appeared, this line of small words was as glaring as a dagger next to Constantine's gilded inscription. The most shocking revelation of the Arc de Triomphe lies in the holes beneath its shiny surface - the stolen reliefs, the wild trees in the cracks, the hoofbeats of ghosts, all mock the eternal vanity. And when a new day comes, when a flock of pigeons suddenly soars from the top of the pavilion like a captive on your shoulder, you finally understand from the sound of their wings: all triumphs are temporary, and only time is the ultimate conqueror.

There are four floors in total, but the underground floor is not open. The first and second floors are all sculptures, and the third floor is murals and mosaics. Overall, it is worthy of the name of the National Museum. It should be regarded as a branch built using the original excavation site.

## Mirror of Lies: Soul-Eating Ceremony of the Mouth of Truth When you squeeze through the noisy crowd of the Cosmedin Church, you suddenly bump into the iron-blue stone face in the niche - the mask of the river god with slightly open fangs is covered with moss, and the eye sockets are covered with centuries of dust. This ancient Roman sewer manhole cover was transformed into a lie-eating beast because of "Roman Holiday". Don't be deceived by the laughter of tourists: the moment you put your hand into its mouth, you will fall into a soul trial spanning a thousand years. **Roman humor under the myth of lie detection**. Please look closely at the stone surface when queuing: the craftsmen in the first century AD deliberately carved the sea god into a horrified expression, originally to deter floods. One night in the Middle Ages, a drunkard stuck his hand between the fangs and cried and confessed his guilt, and an absurd legend was born. Today, husbands pretend to be bitten and scream, and wives hold their mobile phones and laugh and bend over - when the jungle of selfie sticks submerges the stone statue, the Mouth of Truth has long become a stage prop for contemporary people to create sweet lies. **The hidden line of truth between the stone pillars of the church**. Don't ignore the church behind because of the crowd! On the sixth-century mosaic altar, Christ is crushing the head of a snake (the incarnation of truth). Look up at the dome: St. Peter is the only one missing among the twelve apostles - it is said that the devil stole his statue during construction, but it fell into the Tiber River due to the burns of the church's holy light. When your fingertips brush over the cracks in the north wall (the signature of the 1348 earthquake), you suddenly see the afterimage of the saint in the red light of the stained glass window: it turns out that truth never lives in the fangs of stone statues, but flows in the scars of time that have crushed the building. **The Liar's Monologue in the Moonlight**. After closing, go around to the small garden on the east side of the church, and the Mouth of Truth turns back into a gloomy monster behind the fence. Put your palms against the iron bars and look at the stone statue, and the roar of the ancient Roman aqueduct floats in the wind. One night in the third century AD, pagans carved anti-Christian slogans on this stone, and the priests used holy water to wash the fangs that appeared. At this moment, the cool air seeps out of the cracks in the stone and wraps around my wrist, as if two thousand years of lies and confessions have condensed into salt here - what we fear is never the bite of the stone, but the piercing of the shadow in our hearts. Please take out the coins and put them in the donation box before leaving. When the crisp sound of metal hitting the bottom of the box echoes through the empty courtyard, it is like the trembling sound of the soul's balance returning to zero. As the candlelight flickers in the altar, you suddenly realize: the most terrifying thing about this stone statue is not the fangs but the hollow throat - there are countless untold truths deposited there, like the silent ancient pottery fragments at the bottom of the Tiber River. And the 14th-century crucifix forgotten by tourists in the corner of the church, wild violets are blooming between the ribs of the wooden sculpture of Christ, mocking the human obsessive pursuit of "absolute truth" with gentle vitality.
