Well they didn't have plastic then Adrian, sorry the Past isn't exciting enough for you and your tiny imagination.

Some of us see a clay tablet from thousands of years ago, making a complaint about shoddy copper and feel so alive and part of Humanity.

You however, as the husband of one of the Guardian editors or something (I heard) whine that ancient pots aren't 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' enough for you....

Heading towards the Colosseum we passed a hole being dug in Via in Publicolis and beyond the hole a beautiful classical church. We asked a man standing beside the excavation how we could get to the church. It turns out that he was an archaeologist and every hole that gets dug in a street in Rome is accompanied by one because there is so much archeology everywhere!!! Instead of the Colosseum he suggested we should visit the 4thC Basilica of Saint Crisogono. #rome #archoeology #ancientrome
