People come to Rome from all corners of the world because its history includes both subjecting and serving the world, whether militarily, religiously, or culturally. Rome shows us how we can live in a village while living in a world capital, how much a small life reflects a larger life, and how much we resemble our ancestors.
To discover Rome is also to discover that we are Roman, because so much of our heritage actually comes from this city. Without this city, America would have been a different place. Everything would have been different without Rome.
