Santa Reparata Crypt at Duomo in Florence
Betsy Ross is not there at that house. She was First buried in a Quaker cemetery in the heart of the city. That cemetery was claimed by the city as it was on prime real estate. All the graves were moved to Mount Moriah cemetery. They dug where they thought she was buried in 1976 and found nothing/nobody in that grave. They moved over a few plots and took that person to the home on Arch street. Betsy is still at the Quaker site under those huge buildings or , as I think, she is still somewhere in Mount Moriah Cemetery. They still fly/have a flag, a 30 foot flag pole and an information sign at the grave site in Mount Moriah Cemetery. I know this to be fact because my mother, grandparents and a few Uncles are buried about 20 yards West of Betsy's grave. The plot of graves were purchased by my grandmother in 1928. I have visited the graves, including Betsy, many times.☠☠👻👻

Thank you for the tour. I've been to Rome twice but never been inside the Curia Julia.
@@larsrons7937 to my understanding, they rotate what buildings are open on the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill. I've been to Rome many times when it wasn't open but this year and last year I was lucky to see it.
@@Roaminghistorian Oh? Thank you. If true, that's very valuable info. In that case, if one has a special desire to visit a specific building, one has to plan in advance when to travel. Thanks.

i was reading Dan Brown inferno an got curious ,thank you 🥹
I love that book! I re-read it every couple of years. Cerca trova!
See, y'all don't even know the voodoo that was done here. It's all professional and stuff, but shortly after the 1:00 mark she does the quick double click of the tongs, which is a must before using if everyone is to live.

That's fabulous! Thanks for the comment!
Intrecciato
I loved that place. So beautiful. Thanks for the vid
Thanks for your comment! It is such an amazing gem of a place.
I like your videos. I heard Boboli was free for residents for some entrances. We are moving to Oltrarno in August from Asia. I am American and Wife is Filipina and we have a son who will start in Sept there.
Yes, I believe it's free from the Porta Romana entrance for residents. The Oltrarno is great! I hope you all have a great move.
next time, take a frontal image also of the sculptures and the accompanying names. this has been more annoying than edifying
Such a nice life you live yrr.. Traveling the world, discovering such beautiful sceneries ❤
It is truly a wonderful privilege to be able to travel and see so much beauty! I'm in awe of how lucky I am every trip.
I was there. Standing in the lower window of the lighter yellow building behind the flags. I follow you and so awesome to see you were at the event on Sunday.
Wasn't it amazing?!? So awesome that we were there.
R.l.P Sue T Rex love you miss you
Yes, RIP, Sue!
So wonderful. Thanks.
It's an amazing place! I can't wait to go back soon.
Sounds great! Have not been to Midland for many years!
It was quite the production. That wheel of cheese is awesome!
Thanks so much for this excellent tour of Rome's Jewish Ghetto! I will be in Rome soon and will make sure to visit this historical and noteworthy neighborhood. Your knowledge will certainly improve my visit!
Thanks for the kind words. You will love the area...it's so rich in culture and history. Happy travels!
Thanks for sharing. I saw it last year.
I'm so glad you saw it in person. Isn't it just amazing?!? To think of a woman artist being given that commission at that time. And she nailed it! Gorgeous painting.
The current Curia is a building from the times of Emperor Diocletian. It was rebuilt in 283 AD. after being destroyed by fire. The floor too.
Thanks for adding to the discussion!
I have visited Florence many times and never knew of this place. Thank you for sharing. I hate asking, but may I ask how much it was to commission your bag and shipping? I would love a good quality bag. I have in past brought bags back like nesting dolls in my luggage. I am visiting next month and would love to get a bag from them. Thanks in advance.😊
There was no shipping because it was over their threshold. Since I ordered it there, they gave me a reduced price so I didn't have to pay the VAT (value added tax). It was the same price to commission the bag as it was listed on their website. Here is the link to their site: scuoladelcuoio.it/en/
@@Roaminghistorian I want to the website and it was down, I will check again later. Thank you! I also followed on Facebook. I’m excited to shop there.
@@heidibeechuk9203 it's a wonderful place! I've been shopping there for many years. You will love the quality.
How much?
@@minzyminz9987 I think it was around 600 euro once they took off the tax.

Gladiatorial contests used to happen in Roman Britain, Chester has a amphitheatre in it. That's worth a look too if you ever get over to Britain
Thanks for the suggestion!
This is interesting to me cause my country 🇬🇧 was part of the Roman empire. And we've got some Roman artifacts over here , Coins, statues, armour, Roman toilets baths walls even Roman temples, Good video 👍
Thanks! I'm from the USA, so I don't get that opportunity to be surrounded by ancient history. The Roman baths in Bath, England are amazing.
@@Roaminghistorian aye I'm a Geordie from Newcastle we were founded by the Romans Newcastle used to be called pons aelius(it's Roman name). A long the street from me is Hadrian's wall and the remains of a owld Roman temple , we got in use today still Roman roads , Guess a lot of people in Geordie land take it for granted. I've subscribed to your belting (great in Geordie dialect) channel, you stay safe 👍
@@da90sReAlvloc thanks for subscribing! I love the old Roman roads and walls, but I haven't seen any part of Hadrian's wall...yet. It's on my bucket list. Happy travels to you!
the senate looks small they had an empire but needed fewer politicians
It is a smaller place for how many senators it held at times. Under Caesar Augustus, there were up to 600 senators, which was quite large for the Republic and that space! And the Empire, of course, was a completely different function of government...senators served at head of government bureaucracy and a law court; they took their orders from the emperor.
Rome had the most senators and politicians of any nation. By the time of the imperial period just from senators there were 600.
@@NorceCodine i dont think its much for an empire that size
Your camera passes so fast over those most important elements in the Curia, that you video becomes useless to a viewer. But you do slow down and zoom on that marble pig, as if for it being the centerpiece. Instead, the busts of those emperors are passed over in 1 or 2 seconds, not even allowing us to read the name bellow each bust. What was the point of fliming posting this, sugar puff?
Good❤
Что, how?! Это делал 3Д станок, а Микеланджело к этой статуе не имеет никакого отношения.
Yummi
It is!
The Cvria Ivlia is built is built over the old Cvria Cornelia , itself built over the Cvria Hostilia , which is where the ancient tribes of the Lativm vowed fealty to Romvlvs and where the Senate first congregated .It is essentially the Birthplace/Cradle of Latin Culture and Civilization .God , I yearn to be there .
It is magnificent. It never gets old for me to go back there.
No its not. This is not the location of the republican senate house. First Julius Caesar has moved the senate house to a new location, and then the emperors moved it again. The Romans were masters of relocating buildings if they needed space for new construction. The original senate house can be seen on a coin, it looked like a classical Roman temple with a portico in front, which is also mentioned in Livy I believe. The current building is clearly from the late empire, or even later, when the church repurposed old pagan buildings.
I stayed here with my family when I was 12, I am 85. Pleasant memory.
How wonderful that you shared your memory with us...thank you! I love thinking about the places I stayed with my parents in my youth. They never took me to the Palmer House, but historic hotels were on the menu when we could afford them.
Thank you👍
Thanks for commenting! Happy travels!

I’ve never seen those heads of the 3rd century emperors before and I wish I could find more on the web but they are hard to come by.
Yes, it is difficult to find information about Curia Julia online. I wish there was a website with copies of the signs throughout and explaining what the artifacts are and how the building was used throughout history.
Yes, I too. But she cannot be bothered with that, as she paces through that jewel of human race: the Roman Senate
