Chapter 1759: Caesar's Treasure
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian looked through the ruins of the Senate completely, whether it was the remaining buildings and broken walls on the ground, or the situation deep underground.
Afterwards, he withdrew his sight and ended the perspective.
Next, everyone visited here for a while, then started to leave and walked to the Caesar Temple not far away, ready to visit there.
After visiting the Temple of Caesar, everyone can leave the Roman Forum and return along the original road to enjoy the beautiful night view of the Colosseum.
At this time, the setting sun had already sunk, and the twilight gradually enveloped the whole of Rome.
The landscape lights on the ancient Roman Forum have been turned on for people to visit. The bright and soft lights cover the ancient Roman ruins, which is not beautiful.
Under the bright lights of street lamps, Ye Tian and the others were talking, laughing, and chatting, while walking along the roads of ancient Roman ruins, and visiting various ruins and ruins on both sides of the road.
They walking on the ruined road are like walking in the great history of Rome.
Together they have gone through the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire, and the Renaissance, and they have gone from ancient times to modern times.
Soon, they came to the temple of Caesar, stopped here, and began to visit the ruins of this famous ancient building.
Caesar, known as Caesar the Great in history, was an outstanding military commander and politician at the end of the Roman Republic, and with his outstanding talents he became the founder of the Roman Empire.
He came from a noble family and served as treasurer, chief priest, justice, consul, dictator, etc. in the Roman Republic.
In 60 BC, Caesar formed a three-headed alliance with Pompeii and Crassus, and then became the governor of Gaul. In eight years, he conquered the entire Gaul and attacked Germany and Britain.
In 49 BC, he led a large army to occupy Rome, defeated Pompeii, gathered power, began to exercise dictatorship, and formulated the famous "Julian Calendar."
In 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated by members of the Senate led by Ibrutto and eventually died at the age of fifty-six.
After Caesar's death, his adopted son and nephew Octavius inherited his will, defeated Mark Antony, founded the Roman Empire, and became the first emperor of the Roman Empire.
As the founder of the Roman Empire, Caesar was regarded by many historians as the uncrowned king of the Roman Empire, and some historians even regarded Caesar as the first emperor of the Roman Empire.
In the Western world, Emperor Caesar is one of the most well-known historical figures. People are familiar with his legend throughout his life. There are countless novels, plays, and movies about Caesar on the market.
Betty and Anderson, who were educated in the West since they were young, are naturally no exception. Each of them is very familiar with Caesar the Great.
When they came to the temple of Caesar, everyone seemed particularly excited, and their eyes were full of expectation.
However, in the ancient Roman Forum, this temple was built for Caesar the Great, but only a piece of ruined walls and some mutilated Ionic pillars of varying heights left them very disappointed.
After standing in front of the ruins and visiting for a while, Ye Tian began to explain.
"I will not introduce the Emperor Caesar. For his legendary life, everyone must be familiar with it. Here, I will introduce this temple to everyone.
The Temple of Caesar was built in 42 BC. After the Roman Senate named Caesar as a god, Octavius, the first Roman emperor, built this Ionic temple for his adoptive father, Caesar.
The Temple of Caesar is also known as the Temple of the Comet. Four months after Caesar’s assassination, Octavian held an athletic meeting to commemorate Caesar in Rome on Caesar’s birthday in July 44 BC.
During this period, a bright comet appeared over Rome and appeared in the night sky for seven consecutive days. The Romans believed that this was the proof that Caesar's soul ascended to heaven and became a god.
As a result, the Romans raised Caesar to the height of a god, and their respect for him was beyond surpassing. The image of Caesar enshrined in this temple also had a comet mark on its forehead.
In 29 AD, after the Battle of Cape Acting, a dedication ceremony was held here. Mark Anthony read Caesar’s will in public and pushed Caesar to the altar together with Octavian.
Caesar was the first Roman citizen to be deified and revered by the temple. With the establishment of this temple, Octavian began to convert his private worship of Caesar to public worship,..."
Listening to Ye Tian's introduction, Betty and Anderson quickly understood the origin of this temple, which undoubtedly opened a window to let them know more about Caesar, a legend in Western history.
At the same time, Ye Tian had secretly opened the perspective again, and began to explore the famous temple ruins in front of him and the depths of the ruins to see if he could find something.
As far as he could see, he saw the ruins of the temple in front of him instantly.
He didn't find anything in this broken wall of varying heights.
All he saw was a large piece of broken rubble, an ancient wall made of masonry and concrete, and some broken Ionic columns.
Moreover, most of these walls and Ionic pillars are left with only the foundation part close to the ground, and the highest point is only about two meters, which completely loses the grandeur and solemnity of the Caesar Temple.
Ye Tian had anticipated this situation long ago, and did not feel regret or disappointment.
The Temple of Caesar has been built for more than two thousand years, during which it has been baptized by countless winds, rains and wars, and it has been looted many times in history.
It has been more than two hundred years since it was discovered and excavated again in the 18th century. Even if the temple objects are hidden in the ruins of this temple, it is impossible to keep it until now.
After quickly looking through the ground part of the ruins of the Caesar Temple, Ye Tian's eyes swept to the ground and began to look through the deep underground.
His eyes easily penetrated the rocks and soil, and large patches of rubble, into the deep underground.
Just when his gaze reached four meters underground, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly flashed with a golden light, which was so dazzling that he was even a little dizzy.
It was a thick layer of gold coins, piled on top of each other, and there were a lot of them. In Ye Tian's eyes, they not only gleamed with golden light, but also gleamed with beautiful blue light, which accurately revealed the age they came from.
Without exception, these gold coins of different sizes and currency values all come from the Roman Republic period and have a history of more than two thousand years. They are all valuable antique gold coins.
More importantly, many of these ancient Roman gold coins are branded with the portrait of Emperor Caesar, and many of them are extremely rare and valuable antique gold coins.
Obviously, this is the gold coin that the first emperor of the Roman Empire ordered and dropped to commemorate his adoptive father Caesar. It is also laying the foundation for this temple. The handwriting is very big and staggering!
The moment he saw this ancient Roman gold coin in perspective, a ecstasy flashed across Ye Tian's eyes.
But he quickly controlled the excitement and squeezed his fist tightly without revealing any flaws.
Next, Ye Tian's gaze went straight through the dazzling antique gold coin, and continued to extend downward, and the surprise soon appeared again.
What appeared in front of Ye Tian this time was a wall made of large blocks of granite. To be precise, it should be said to be the dome of an underground tunnel.
Moreover, the entrance of this underground corridor is directly below the Temple of Caesar, and an unusually strong and extremely thick granite gate stands at the entrance of the corridor.
On this granite gate is carved a huge bust of Caesar, several lines of ancient Latin text, and some patterns depicting war scenes.
Although Ye Tian doesn't know ancient Latin, he knows the image of Caesar, and he also knows that the patterns engraved on the granite gate and the specific descriptions of wars.
Without exception, they were all important battles under the leadership of Caesar. They were very famous in history and symbolized Caesar's great achievements and outstanding military and leadership skills.
But it was a pity that Ye Tian didn't know what was going on behind the granite gate, behind it was a secret road leading to other places, or a huge treasure that could shake the world.
The reason is very simple. To see the strong and unusually strong granite gate deep underground is already the limit of Ye Tian's perspective.
When he got here, his sight could no longer go deep, let alone see through the granite gate and see the situation inside the gate.
"Hey--!"
Ye Tian secretly sighed ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then withdrew his gaze, ending this great perspective.
Although he could not see through the granite gate and figure out the secrets behind the gate, he did not feel regret or discouraged, but was full of confidence!
In time, when he returns to the Roman Forum again, the unusually strong granite gate deep underground in the Temple of Caesar will no longer be an obstacle.
What secrets are hidden behind the granite gate will be clearly shown in my own eyes by then!
After finishing the perspective, Ye Tian continued to explain and introduced Betty and the others to the story behind the Caesar Temple. It was still so professional, exciting and fascinating!
In an instant, a few minutes passed.
Ye Tian's explanation finally ended. Everyone looked at the ruins of the Caesar Temple again, then turned around and left here, and walked along the path towards the Colosseum.
At this time, the light show on the side of the Colosseum has begun, and the brilliant lights are constantly flickering, decorating the night sky with colorful and beautiful!
