Since it being one of my thesis’ major themes, and me a Roman resident, I’ve recently experienced the real nature of ruins. Their broken arches and pillars driving our imagination to infinity. Being indefinite endings containing an infinity of imaginative possibilities, our imagination makes a sublime experience.
I often have the feeling to walk amidst imperial Rome. Behind me hearing Cicero, who addresses himself to Dolabella from the rostrae: Sed per deos immortalis! You won’t betray the republican party. And next on the left hand side crazy baby-face Nero, who demolished the Palatin’s surroundings for his palatial complex, that had to become greater than the pyramids of Egypt.
But this is something better to convey purely visually.
