Great discovery in Rome, Italy

Postby Ernie Coffman » Nov 20, 2007 6:37 pm

Here's an exciting story of a cave that was just re-discovered, under 50+ feet of Rome history. Quite a story that goes back to 700 B.C. to 400 A.D., so click on this link for all of it...and look at the picture that is mind-blowing!
