Faces

Rome is pretty cool. I keep imagining the native modern locals as their ancient counterparts. What profession they would have had if they were born a couple of thousands of years previous. The tattoo guy would obviously have been a gladiator, or a military commander with his macho arms and Greco-Roman nose. Yeah I could definitely picture him in a man-dress. Others I can just see sitting on a black person and yawning whilst popping olives in their mouths and wearing leafy headbands on their heads. I don't understand the beggars' Italian but it all sounds the same, much like "Beware the Ides of March". In some of these people you can sort of picture a modern day genius. You might be seeing the closest live faces to da Vinci and Michelangelo.
Talking rubbish, here have a picture
