Chapter 1755: Secrets of Ancient Rome

From the Colosseum, it was about six o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still more than an hour before sunset.

In other words, if you want to enjoy the beautiful night view of the Colosseum and the fascinating light show in Rome, you have to wait more than an hour to do so.

Rome is an ancient city full of ruins. If you walk around the city, you can come across historical sites one after another, and maybe it's a famous ancient Roman site.

In Rome, Ye Tian and the others would naturally not waste such an opportunity, waiting for the night to fall, and then admiring the charming night view of the Colosseum.

After a little discussion, everyone made a decision and walked to visit the ancient Roman city square within easy reach.

After selecting the target, everyone was talking, laughing and chatting, while walking to the ancient Roman city square. Everyone was very relaxed, looking like ordinary tourists visiting Rome.

Of course, this does not include Cole and the others. They are always on high alert, staring at the pedestrians and tourists around them, ready to respond.

In fact, the ancient Roman city square is opposite the Colosseum, and there is a green street garden between the two, which can be reached by bypassing the street garden.

While they were talking, Ye Tian and the others had already walked to the south side of the street garden, stopped here, and began to admire a famous historical building standing here.

This is a triumphal arch that has stood for more than a thousand years. It was built in 315 AD and is the oldest of the three existing triumphal arches in the city of Rome, also known as the Arch of Constantine.

In 312 AD, after the victory of the Battle of the Milvi Bridge, this famous triumphal arch was built to celebrate the victory of Constantine the Great and the unification of the Roman Empire.

Around this famous Arc de Triomphe, there is a circle of tall and strong iron fences to prevent tourists from approaching the Arc de Triomphe, mainly to prevent some tourists from deliberately destroying it.

Therefore, when Ye Tian and the others came here, they could only stand outside the iron fence to visit and appreciate this famous triumphal arch.

Just like before, Ye Tian started to explain after quietly enjoying it for a while.

"The Arch of Constantine was built in 315 to commemorate Emperor Constantine's defeat of Emperor Maxenti and the successful unification of the Roman Empire.

The relief board above the triumphal arch was directly taken from other buildings in Rome at that time, and the main content is the life achievements of the emperors of the past dynasties, such as Anthony and Hadrian.

The relief board below is the battle scene of Constantine the Great, to show his remarkable and great military career and his lofty status in ancient Rome and even Western history.

Among the three existing triumphal arches in Rome, the Triumphal Arch of Constantine was built the latest, but the shadow of early Roman art can still be seen, and it is relatively well-preserved, which is worth seeing.

This is a triumphal arch with three arches, 21 meters high, 25.7 meters wide, and 7.4 meters deep. Due to the adjustment of the height and width ratio, it straddles the center of the road and looks huge.

The interior and exterior of the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine are full of various reliefs. On the surface, the huge Arc de Triomphe and the colorful reliefs are magnificent, but lack a sense of integrity.

The reason is that the various parts of the Triumphal Arch of Constantine are not created in a unified manner. Most of the relief components are removed from some famous buildings in the past and put together.

Nevertheless, it is still a magnificent triumphal arch, especially the sculptures from various important periods of the Roman Empire preserved on it, which is a vivid history of Roman sculptures.

The Arc de Triomphe of Constantine is very similar to the Arc de Triomphe of Paris, because the Arc de Triomphe of Paris was built on it, but it is bigger, the relief content and the memorial meaning are different,..."

Ye Tian introduced this famous Arc de Triomphe while taking Betty and the others on a stroll, visiting the Arch of Constantine.

After going around in a circle and visiting this tall Arc de Triomphe, Ye Tian just finished explaining.

Afterwards, they left here and continued to move forward, preparing to enter the ancient Roman city square along the holy road to experience the glory of ancient Rome.

Not a few steps forward, Ye Tian's cell phone rang suddenly, and it was Kenny who was in New York calling.

Ye Tian took out the phone and glanced at it to reveal, then gently slid the screen lock, Kenny's voice came over immediately.

"Good afternoon, Steven, Heishui and the agents of the IZO guys have arrived in Rome, and they are staying in the Paul VI Hotel next to the Vatican, close to you.

As for their identities, the intelligence personnel of Raytheon Security Company have verified that there should be no problem. I will send you the contact information later, and you can meet at the right time."

When the voice fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said in a low voice:

"Understood, Kenny, I will ask someone to verify the identities of those guys again. As for meeting those guys, forget it. There are countless pairs of eyes around me now.

Once the identity of their ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is determined, the rest will be very easy to handle. I will give tips at the right time to let them make a fortune in a completely legal form"

The guys staying at the Paul VI Hotel are the mercenary agents who appeared yesterday in Barcelona, ​​Spain, Marseille, France, and Belgrade, Serbia, to kill.

Those mercenaries are all special elites who have survived a hundred battles. They come from the notorious Blackwater Company and another well-known mercenary company, Israel's IZO Mercenary Company.

They took over and successfully completed the hunting reward issued by Ye Tian and killed all the backbone members of the three gangs. This is to send an agent to Rome to receive the reward.

Ye Tian's method of paying the remuneration was agreed upon, providing three chances to pick up the leaks, so that those guys could get a fortune that could be seen and complete the transaction.

After chatting with Kenny for a few words, Ye Tian ended the call and hung up the phone.

While they were talking, Ye Tian and the others had already stepped into the Holy Road and formally entered the ancient Roman city square.

In ancient Rome, major cities generally had squares, large or small.

Initially, these squares were used as markets and public gathering places. Later, they were also used to issue announcements, conduct trials, celebrate festivals, and even hold gladiatorial fights. They were mostly rectangular.

In ancient Roman cities that formed spontaneously, the location of the square differed from city to city. In the planned and planned Yingzhai city, the square was mostly located at the intersection of the city center.

The Roman Forum ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is the center of the city in the ancient Roman era, and there are still some ruins of important Roman buildings.

The important buildings that stand here are the Triumphal Arch of Titus, the Arch of Constantine, the Arch of Severus, the Temple of Caesar, the Temple of Venus, the Temple of Venus and Rome, and so on.

There are many famous ruins of ancient Roman politics, religion, commerce, entertainment, etc., so it is also called "Ruins of Ancient Rome".

Because of the great historical significance of the ‘Ruins of Ancient Rome’, since its discovery in the eighteenth century, successive Roman governments have deliberately preserved this fragment of ruins, leaving a precious cultural heritage for all mankind.

This ‘Ruins of Ancient Rome’ is like a huge open-air museum, not only attracting tourists from all over the world to check it out, but also attracting many archaeologists and historians.

They came here to explore the life in ancient Rome at that time, which is of great archaeological value!

Of course, this place also attracted many professional treasure hunters to come here to explore treasures and find various treasures left over from the ancient Roman period.

As a top professional treasure hunter, Ye Tian would naturally not miss such an opportunity.

As soon as he walked into the Holy Path of the Ancient Roman Forum, he secretly opened the perspective and began to explore the ruins of the ancient buildings on both sides of the Holy Path and the conditions deep underground to see if he could find anything!

In Ye Tian's view, this is the core area of ​​the ancient Roman Empire. There are countless very important buildings gathered here. There must be many secrets and even huge treasures hidden.

Even if the Romans have cleaned this place more than once, it is impossible to clean them all. There must be many secrets waiting to be discovered by themselves!
