Hi Agnes, so clear and logical a fabulous story telling that we are so eager and ready to follow. Thank you for helping us to understand and know better our beloved city, this will help us to pull together all the pieces of the jigsaw of info we have floating around.

Really interesting! Thank you, Agnes. I didn’t know the remains of the Altar of Hercules were visible in Santa Maria in Cosmedin. I’ll certainly look next time.

All of that, in myth, tradition and fact, happening in sight of that hill. I see it coherently and afresh when I thought I'd seen it all before. Really excellent.
