    You should be proud of the high production values you bring to your videos. On top of the great videography and your comments the informational graphics are exceptional.
    I was a student of architecture in Rome before it became a favorite tourist destination. Looking back I realize that we students had a unique experience of Rome. Besides actual Rome residents there were not many international tourists. This enhanced our access to actual Roman citizens -- we got to know them well and to benefit from their hospitality.

    Very informative vlog, Elyssa! Enjoyed the backstory, and the history, of the walls. Was the North Door, at the entrance to Piazza del Popolo, part of the wall structure? The door, and door knocker, are amazing. I have pictures of them, and the hills carving on the knocker.

    • @Romewise
      @Romewise  5 років тому +1

      Hi Scott and thanks as always for your support! Yes, the North door that is part of the entrance to Piazza Del Popolo is part of the huge 19-km long Aurelian walls. The door and knocker are not from Ancient Rome however. It got some facelifts in the Renaissance and again in the Baroque period (Bernini), and again in the 1700s.

      The entrance to this museum is at Porta di San Sebastiano. It's pretty easy to find both in person and on a map. Not far from the beginning of the Appia Antica.

      @@Romewise Not for me but others may want to see one. I've walked the Servian Walls. Little outcrops here and there. The one in the Sallustiana neighborhood is cool. I have a degree in Geology and that has helped me understand both the Servian and Aurelian Walls. The Aurelian Walls have layers like sedimentary layers. When they were built they cut across the cemeteries that once filled the country side outside the Servian Walls. The interesting thing is you can see how they incorporated the stones from old mausoleums into the Aurelian Walls. I'm in Rome if you want to explore the Servian Walls together. It might be interesting. I live off Via Tuscalana.

      Sure, there might be different ways to define the word "ruin." Most people I know consider these walls a "ruin" because they are not intact and no longer in use. But it could also be open to interpretation!

    Aurelian’a name wasn’t ‘Aureliano’ but Aurelianus, barbarians wasn’t a name of a horde, emperor Onorio is an Italian name for Honorius, but Italian didn’t exist at the time, so there’s no need to call him that any more than you’d call him by the German version of his name…. This is really difficult to listen to, not least of all because of the endless use of ‘emperor Onorio’……sigh.
