Compared to the Roman-style building on the ground, the basement of this building seems to be older and stronger. It is an underground fortress made entirely of stone.
After entering the basement, Derek began to introduce the situation here to Ye Tian.
"Stephen, as far as we know, Trajan's Square and the nearby Palazzo Venezia and the surrounding area are just above the famous Roman underground city. Almost every building here has such an ancient Basement.
These basements were originally part of the Roman underground city and are very old. Except for a very small part of the buildings on the ground, most of them were built later. This is the case with this Roman-style building.
The construction of these buildings on the ground and the people living in them naturally occupied the underground city facilities under their respective buildings. They blocked the passages to other places and turned this part of the underground city into a basement!
There are also some people who have blocked off the underground city under their residences and transformed them into wine cellars, treasure rooms, shelters, and even secret prisons. On this street, it is said that there are two ancient buildings secret prison! ”
While Derek was introducing, Ye Tian was also observing this ancient and solid basement.
At his request, when Derek and the others were cleaning up this Romanesque building and several other historical buildings, they had already moved all the things in the basement to the ground and piled them in the atrium garden!
Some furniture and sundries, as well as the fine wine stored in these basements, have been moved away by the original homeowners or tenants. This basement is currently empty and very easy to observe!
"This is human nature. The underground cities of Rome are criss-crossed and extend in all directions, and the city of Rome has been turbulent since ancient times. No one who lives here dares not to seal these secret passages that extend in all directions.
Some of these smart people, while sealing most of the secret passages in the underground city, often leave one or two secret passages for escape. If they encounter danger that day, they can escape through the secret passages underground.
There are also some guys who use the secret passages of the underground city to have affairs, carry out assassinations, even carry out coups, and engage in various conspiracies. In modern times, the mafia also uses this place to smuggle drugs and arms, etc.
It can be said that Rome on the ground shows its glorious side to the world! The underground city is another side of Rome, and it is a dark, scary, ugly and unknown dark side.
What we are looking for are these possible escape passages and the treasure rooms that may be hidden in them. The main reason why I bought these six historical buildings is because they are in the Roman underground city! ”
While chatting with Derek, Ye Tian knocked on the walls of the basement and carefully looked at the ancient stones that built the walls.
While he was speaking, he suddenly stopped and reached out to touch a stone on the wall.
On that stone, there are some simple patterns carved on it. Although it is not very clear, it can still be vaguely recognized.
Seeing Ye Tian's actions, Derek immediately came closer and looked curiously at the seemingly ordinary stone.
After observing for a while, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Derek, look at this stone. It should be part of the Corinthian column, and it is a fragment close to the capital. These buttercup leaf-like patterns are the most obvious feature, which is different from the Ionic column and the Doric columns
Let’s look at the texture of this stone. It is very close to the Corinthian columns of the Colosseum. It should be said that the two are stones from the same place. The texture is basically the same, and the patterns carved on it are also basically the same.
From these two points, it is certain that this Corinthian column fragment came from the Roman Colosseum not far away. The Colosseum collapsed around the sixth century AD, and the damage was further intensified in the Middle Ages. .
From then until the mid-eighteenth century, the Colosseum was a ruin without any protective measures. Many citizens in Rome, including the Holy See, moved stones from there to build buildings such as houses or churches.
From this point, it can be determined that the time when this Corinthian column fragment was moved here should be after the sixth century AD. According to my identification, the time when it was placed here should be between the eleventh and tenth centuries. Second century.
This is later than the formation of the Roman underground city, which coincides with the construction time of the building on the ground. From this, it can be concluded that the person who moved this Corinthian column fragment from the Colosseum was probably the founder of this building. Builder"
While saying this, Ye Tian's fingers kept moving, pointing at the ancient stone on the wall, introducing his findings and conclusions to Derek.
Listening to his explanation, Derek kept nodding his head, gaining a deeper understanding of the ancient basement he was in!
Unfortunately, apart from its own historical value, this fragment of a Corinthian column from the Colosseum does not hide any secrets or treasures behind it!
After appreciating and appraising the Corinthian column fragment, Ye Tian looked elsewhere and continued to study this ancient basement, the walls, the floor, etc. with great interest.
Seven or eight minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Tian and the others came to a small basement that had been converted into a wine cellar, and were about to check the situation here to see what they could find.
At this moment, an excited voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Steven, you'd better come to the second floor and take a look. We detected a strong metal signal in the wall of a bedroom. From the analysis of the detected signal, there is probably a metal signal hidden in this wall. Safe"
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian paused for a moment, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Okay, let's go up right away and see if it's a safe and what's in it"
After saying that, Ye Tian took Derek out of the basement and walked upstairs.
Soon, they came to a bedroom on the second floor.
Seeing them come in, the two guys responsible for exploring this area immediately came over, then pointed to a wall on the north side of the bedroom and said:
"Steven, it is in this wall that we detected a very strong metal signal with a small range. Judging from the signal distribution range, it should be a safe hidden in the wall.
But we didn’t find the mechanism to open the safe on this wall, or the mechanism was hidden under the wallpaper. The guy who lived here before probably didn’t know the existence of this safe!
On the other side of this wall is a small study room. A black walnut bookcase stands against the wall. The window opens to the garden side of the atrium. The environment is quite elegant and it is a good place to read and relax."
As he said that, the guy with the pulse metal detector walked to the wall on the north side of the bedroom and stuck the detection coil on that wall.
Following his movements, a metal detector chirped immediately in the room, which sounded very pleasant.
"Well done, guys, let me see what secrets or treasures are hidden in this wall. I hope it's a nice surprise!"
As he said that, Ye Tian stepped forward.
He first checked the detected metal signal, and then started to check the wallpapered wall, as well as the adjacent ground and walls!
By analyzing the detected metal signals and their distribution range, he confirmed the judgment of his two employees that there was indeed a safe hidden in this wall.
However, in this bedroom, he did not find the mechanism to open the safe. Perhaps it was hidden by the wallpaper on the wall!
After standing in front of the wall and observing for a moment, Ye Tian said:
"Let's go to the study next door and maybe we can find something."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the bedroom and walked to the study next door.
