Chapter 2692: 7 consuls of Rome
The ground and walls in front of the stone gate are the same as those on the spiral staircase. There are no traps and it is very safe.
After confirming this, Ye Tian walked down the stairs and came to the front of this ancient stone gate.
At the same time, Walker also arranged lighting fixtures to brighten the lights here, completely dispelling the darkness that has been covering here for more than two thousand years.
This is a stone gate that is no more than one meter two to three meters wide and about two meters high. It looks very old. The gap between the stone gate and the wall is clearly visible, obviously unable to isolate the air.
Due to the age too old, a thick layer of dust has fallen on the stone gate, but it can still be seen vaguely. There seems to be some patterns and words carved on the stone gate, but it is not true.
The walls on both sides of the stone gate seem to be carved with some patterns and words, which are also covered with dust.
In addition, there seem to be some patterns on the floor below and the ceiling above.
stood in front of the stone gate and observed for a while, Ye Tian took out a towel and began to wipe the dust and moss attached to the stone gate.
Following his movements, the patterns carved on this stone gate finally appeared.
Appearing in front of Ye Tian and Walker is an ancient Roman general riding a war horse.
The ancient Roman general wore a red cloak, stared into the distance, leaned forward, and pointed diagonally forward with the Roman dagger in his hand. He seemed to be commanding operations and commanded his army to charge.
Behind the ancient Roman general, there were a few ancient Roman soldiers holding spears and shields, posing in a charge posture, but their faces were very vague, apparently the engraver deliberately.
Besides, under this stone gate, there are several lines of ancient Latin carved.
Ye Tian and the others do not know ancient Latin, and naturally they have no way of knowing what these words express and what they describe.
Looking at the patterns and words carved on this stone door, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly brightened, and he admired it with interest.
Walker was the same, but he was confused, wondering who the ancient Roman general on the stone gate was.
However, his doubts were quickly resolved.
After enjoying quietly for a while, Ye Tian said excitedly:
"I think I know when this secret road and the secret room behind the stone gate were built. If I guess right, they should be built between 86 BC and 100 BC. The wine cellar above was built later. a little.
The person who ordered them to be built was the ancient Roman general carved on the stone gate. His name was Gaius Mallor. He was elected to be the consul of the ancient Roman Republic because he saved Rome from the German hands.
The ancient Latin engraved under the stone gate should describe his life. Although I don’t know ancient Latin, I know the name of Gaius Mallor, and I also know that this man was elected seven times as the consul of ancient Rome. General.
Walker, you may not know Gaius Mallor, the consul of the Ancient Roman Republic, but you must know his nephew. His nephew is Caesar the Great. It was Mallor who helped the Gaius family get rid of the tenant farmers. Identity.
Since this stone gate is engraved with the pattern of Gaius Mallor’s commanding operations, I am sure that the famous battle of Certirius and Vercelli must be engraved on the walls on both sides of this stone gate. Related patterns.
It was in these two battles that Mallio led an army to defeat the Germans, rescue the Roman Republic from crisis, and defeat the Germans. This became the culmination of Mallor’s career and promoted him to the throne of governor."
While saying this, Ye Tian pointed his finger at a few ancient Latins under the Shimen, which was the name of Gaius Mallor.
Hearing what he said, Walker was stunned, his face full of shock.
After a while, this guy was awake, and immediately exclaimed.
"Wow! This is actually an underground secret passage and a secret room built by the uncle of Caesar the Great. Could it be that the building that was originally located above the wine cellar was the residence of Gaius Mallor? If this is the case, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.
One more thing, if this place once belonged to Gaius Mallor, he had been elected as the consul of the ancient Roman Republic seven times, and he was a high-ranking one. Why did he need to build this underground chamber to hide secrets?
Then who completely sealed this secret path? Who is the secret or treasure hidden behind this stone gate? It seems unlikely that Mario himself? Could it be his nephew, Caesar the Great? "
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then explained:
"Although the Romanesque building on the ground was built later, it is more than a thousand years away from the time of Mallorca, but the location of this historical building is in the center of Rome.
Between 80 BC and 100 BC, the building that stood at this location may indeed be Gaius Mallor’s residence, but it’s a pity that the building has not been left until now.
Although Mario was elected to the consul of the Ancient Roman Republic for the seventh time, it was not all smooth sailing. From his first election to the last time, many things happened.
He even fled Rome several times to save his life, especially during the fight with another famous Roman military commander Sura. Had he not fled Rome in time, his life would have been lost.
Under such turbulent and even precarious circumstances, Mallor naturally needed to build underground secret rooms to hide some secrets or hide treasures that were not portable when fleeing.
As for who completely sealed off this secret tunnel, I also think it is unlikely that it was Mallor himself. The person who sealed this secret tunnel may be a cron of Mallor, and it is not ruled out that it was Caesar!
After Mario died of illness in the consul of Rome in 86 BC, only three years later, Sula became the new consul of Rome and the first permanent dictator in Roman history.
After assuming power, Sura began to frantically cleanse the Marian remnant party. Many Marian factions, including Caesar, fled Rome one after another. This secret path may have been blocked during that period~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and There is such a possibility that the time when this secret passage and the secret room were sealed may not be the time when Sura was in power, but after Caesar was assassinated, Caesar's men completely sealed the place.
After Caesar's death, a certain degree of cleansing occurred in Rome. It was aimed at Caesar's remaining party and supporters. As Caesar's confidant Mark Antony, he had to flee Rome at that time! "
Listening to Ye Tian's explanation, Walker couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice again, and at the same time became even more excited.
briefly introduced Gaius Mallor’s life and the origin of this secret road. Ye Tian came to the wall on the right side of Shimen and wiped away the dust and moss on the wall with a towel in his hand.
With his movements, a magnificent ancient war scene suddenly appeared.
Ye Tian looked at these patterns carved on the wall, then smiled and said:
"Sure enough! The sculpture here is really one of the most proud deeds of Mallor's life, that is, he led the army to defeat the Germans. This pattern should be the famous Battle of Vercelli.
Then don't ask, the wall on the left side of Shimen must be engraved with the scene of the famous Battle of Sektrius Hot Springs. It was these two battles that saved Rome and brought Mallor to the top! "
