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
