It was already around six o'clock in the afternoon when we came out of the Colosseum, more than an hour before sunset.
In other words, if you want to enjoy the beautiful night view of the Colosseum and the charming light show of Rome, you will have to wait for more than an hour to do so.
Rome is an ancient city full of ruins. If you just walk around the city, you will encounter historical ruins one after another, and maybe they are some famous ancient Roman ruins.
Being in Rome, Ye Tian and the others would not waste this opportunity, waiting for nightfall to enjoy the charming night view of the Colosseum.
After a short discussion, everyone made the decision to walk to the ancient Roman city square, which was just around the corner.
After selecting the target, everyone walked towards the ancient Roman city square while laughing and chatting. Everyone was very relaxed and looked like ordinary tourists visiting Rome.
Of course, this does not include Cole and the others. They are always on high alert, watching the surrounding pedestrians and tourists, and are ready to respond at any time.
In fact, the ancient Roman city square is opposite the Colosseum, and there is a green street garden between them. You can just walk around the street garden to get there.
While 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 Rome. It is also known as the Arch of Constantine.
In 312 AD, after the victory at the Battle of Milvi Bridge, this famous triumphal arch was built to celebrate Emperor Constantine's victory over Maxentius and his unification of the Roman Empire.
A tall and strong iron fence surrounds this famous Arc de Triomphe to prevent tourists from approaching the Arc de Triomphe, mainly to prevent some tourists from deliberately damaging it.
So, when Ye Tian and the others came here, they could only stand outside the iron fence to visit and appreciate this famous Arc de Triomphe.
Same as before, after quietly admiring it for a while, Ye Tian began to explain.
“The Arch of Constantine was built in 315 to commemorate Emperor Constantine’s victory over Emperor Maxentius and his successful unification of the Roman Empire.
The relief panel above this triumphal arch was taken directly from other buildings in Rome at that time. The main content is the life achievements of successive emperors, such as Antony, Hadrian, etc.
The relief panel below is a battle scene of Emperor Constantine to highlight his outstanding and great military career and his lofty status in the history of ancient Rome and even the West.
Among the three existing triumphal arches in Rome, the Arch of Constantine was built the latest, but the shadow of early Roman art can still be seen, and it is relatively well preserved and is worth a visit.
This is a triumphal arch with three arches. It is 21 meters high, 25.7 meters wide and 7.4 meters deep. Due to the adjusted ratio of height and width, it spans the center of the road and looks huge.
The Arc of Constantine is full of various reliefs inside and out. On the surface, although the huge Arc de Triomphe and the colorful reliefs are grand, they lack a sense of integrity.
The reason is that the various parts of the Arch of Constantine were not created uniformly. Most of the relief components were dismantled from some famous buildings in the past and pieced together.
Despite this, 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 sculpture.
The Arc de Triomphe of Constantine is very similar to the Arc de Triomphe of Paris, because the Arc de Triomphe of Paris was based on it, but it was just larger, with different relief content and commemorative meanings..."
While introducing this famous Arc de Triomphe, Ye Tian took Betty and the others for a walk around the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine.
After going around and visiting this tall Arc de Triomphe, Ye Tian just finished explaining it.
Then, 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.
After walking a few steps, Ye Tian's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Kenny who was far away in New York.
Ye Tian took out his phone and glanced at Laixian, then gently slid open the screen lock, and Kenny's voice came over.
"Good afternoon, Steven, the agents of Blackwater and IZO have arrived in Rome and are staying in the Paul VI Hotel next to the Vatican, very close to you.
As for their identities, the intelligence personnel of Raytheon Security Company have verified them. There should be no problem. I will send you the contact information later and you can meet at your own convenience."
After the words fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and whispered:
"I know, Kenny, I will have people verify the identities of those guys again. As for meeting those guys, forget it. There are countless pairs of eyes around me now.
Once their identity is determined, the rest will be very easy to handle. I will give tips at the right time and let them make a lot of money in a completely legal way."
These guys who stayed at the Paul VI Hotel were the agents of the mercenaries who appeared in Barcelona, Spain, Marseille, France, and Belgrade, Serbia, yesterday and went on a killing spree.
Those mercenaries are all special elites who have survived hundreds of battles. They come from the notorious Blackwater Company and another famous mercenary company, the Israeli IZO mercenary company.
They accepted and successfully completed the reward offered by Ye Tian and killed all the key members of the three gangs. They sent agents to Rome to collect the reward.
Ye Tian's payment method was agreed upon, providing three opportunities to pick up the slack, allowing those guys to get a visible fortune and complete the deal.
After chatting with Kenny for a few words, Ye Tian ended the call and hung up the phone.
As he spoke, Ye Tian and the others had already entered the Holy Path and officially entered the ancient Roman city square.
In ancient Rome, major cities generally had squares, either 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 battles. Most of them were rectangular
In the spontaneously formed ancient Roman cities, the location of the square varied from city to city. In the fortified city built according to the plan, the square was mostly located at the intersection in the center of the city.
The Roman Forum was the city center in the ancient Roman era, and there are still some ruins of important buildings in the ancient Roman era.
The important buildings standing here include the Arch of Titus, the Arch of Constantine, the Arch of Severus, the Temple of Caesar, the Temple of Vesta, the Temple of Venus and Rome, etc.
Here are the ruins of ancient Roman politics, religion, commerce, entertainment and many other famous buildings, so it is also called the 'ruins of ancient Rome'.
Because of the great historical significance of the 'Ruins of Ancient Rome', successive Roman governments have deliberately preserved these ruins since their discovery in the 18th century, leaving precious cultural heritage for all mankind.
This 'ancient Roman ruins' is like a huge open-air museum, not only attracting tourists from all over the world to take a closer look, but also attracting many archaeologists and historians.
They came here one after another to explore the life in ancient Rome at that time, which is of great archaeological value!
Of course, it also attracts 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 Road of the Ancient Roman Forum, he secretly turned on clairvoyance and began to explore the ruins of the ancient buildings on both sides of the Holy Road, as well as the situation deep underground, to see if he could find anything!
In Ye Tian's opinion, this was the core area of the ancient Roman Empire. It was home to countless very important buildings and must contain many secrets and even huge treasures.
Even if the Romans had cleaned this place more than once, it was impossible to clean them all. There must be many secrets waiting to be discovered!
