Everyone knows that there are many relics in Rome, but which one is the oldest? What are you doing now?

The most attractive place in Rome is the ruins. The morning after we arrived in Italy, we took a bus from a small town called Beautiful City to Rome. The weather was particularly good that day. It was sunny in autumn and breezy in autumn. The pine trees on both sides of the expressway are like a huge green umbrella, supporting the blue sky and white clouds, and the scenery is beautiful. It has long been said that Rome is an exquisite work of architectural art, especially the Vatican's magnificent St. Peter's Cathedral, the towering Saint Angel Castle, the magnificent statue monument of Emmanuel II and the mysterious wishing fountain, all of which are famous for their unique architectural art, so in my imagination, Rome must be beautiful and prosperous. However, I couldn't believe my eyes when the car entered the city. It is not full of brilliance and vitality. Everything is old, the streets are old, and the houses are old. The whole of Rome is like a historical relic displayed in a museum. I can't help but feel a little disappointed. Who would have thought that the world-famous Rome would be like this? Just when I was puzzled, the car stopped in front of a broken but magnificent oval building, and my eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't this the ruins of the Colosseum? This huge building, which was built by 40,000 prisoners of war in 72 AD in eight years, is a masterpiece in the history of human architecture, although it is badly damaged and dilapidated. Its shape is very similar to today's stadium. The outer wall nearly 50 meters high is a three-story stone arch with 80 entrances and exits around it. The stepped seats inside can accommodate 55,000 spectators at the same time. Its scale is grand, its design is scientific, its construction is exquisite, and it is amazing, not to mention two thousand years ago, even now. Mr. Qun Song, who accompanied us, told us that the arena was full of cruelty and blood from the first day it was built. In order to seek excitement and joy, dignitaries staged a "war between man and beast" here for more than 500 years. What a cruel scene this is! Slaves and prisoners are fighting bloody battles with tigers and lions, while rulers and dignitaries are laughing in the stands. Finally, the blood was used up and the animal nature was satisfied. Looking at this building, which embodies a high degree of human civilization, I can't associate it with cruelty and blood. While cursing it, I am also glad that the ruins of this splendid building have been preserved after a long storm. Otherwise, we have to look for traces of it from historians, just like Epang Palace in China, and we can only imagine its glory from Sima Qian's historical records and Du Mu's poems. Actually, it's not just Epang Palace. It is said that buildings before the Song Dynasty are hard to find even in the ruins. Not far from the Colosseum is the ruins of Rome Square. In the heart of ancient Rome, there used to be towering temples and temples, but now they are overgrown with weeds and become a broken walls. Gorgeous Amelia Palace, leaving only a pile of messy stones; There are only a few thick broken walls left in the majestic Massenzi Olympic Palace; The tall temple of Diosco has only three solitary stone pillars; The most magnificent Saturnonon Temple has only eight stone pillars supporting the gate; In order to commemorate the peace temple built between nobles and civilians, only the bare pier base is left. The temples of Venus, Miriya, Romolo and Caesar have all turned into piles of rubble and bricks. Wandering in the ruins of this Roman square is like walking in the history of ancient Rome. We cannot witness the ancient history, but the ruins can tell you the glory of the past. Broken ruins are a reflection of a complete history, and it is precisely because of broken ruins that a complete history can show itself tenaciously. If there were no ruins, human history would become pale and monotonous and incomplete. When I came out of Rome Square, I thought I would never see any ruins again. Who knows that Rome is simply a broken world. Collapsed city walls, dilapidated palaces, mottled tenon Liang Shi, statues with few hands and arms, and damaged abnormal passages can be seen everywhere, hidden among green trees, or standing on the lawn, or standing beside the street or new buildings. What is particularly surprising is that most of the relics are in the center of Rome, and they are well preserved in conspicuous places. Staring at these ruins, I suddenly found that Rome is full of a kind of incomplete beauty, an ancient beauty. Yes, compared with a complete building, broken ruins can give people more shock, more thinking, more strength and more enlightenment. So, I can't help but marvel and admire the Romans. They are indeed far-sighted people. In the face of the ruins of ancient Roman civilization, they did not bulldoze and level the ruins, nor did they restore and reproduce the glory of ancient Rome on the ruins, but kept the ruins intact with originality. Because they deeply understand that ruins are the remains of history and the witness of civilization, destroying ruins will destroy history and civilization. This is tantamount to the suicide of the national spirit. Only by respecting the ruins can we transcend the ruins and create new glories. Because of this, the Romans carefully protected every ruin with great courage and courage, and Rome became a place that people all over the world yearned for. Every day, people come from all directions to visit the site in an endless stream, and tourism has become an unprecedented sunrise industry in Rome. The Romans turned the ruins into treasures and unparalleled wealth. Roman ruins, eternal masterpieces, eternal charm, immortal glory.
