	Rome, city, Italy. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Rome’s large number of automobiles has caused serious traffic congestion, and in the 1970s and 80s various attempts were made to deal with the problem, including the banning of traffic in certain parts of the city.
		The old Roman Forum (see forum), extending from the Palatine almost to the Colosseum, remained the center of the city; northwest of it were the Emperors’ Fora, with many fine public buildings, and the Temple of Peace.
		The history of Rome in the Middle Ages, bewildering in its detail, is essentially that of two institutions, the papacy and the commune of Rome.

	Rome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The seven hills of the ancient city are the Palatine, roughly in the center, with the Capitoline to the northwest and the Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, and Aventine in an outlying north-southwest curve.
		The hills of Rome, free from the malaria that had been the bane of the low-lying plains of Latium, were a healthful and relatively safe place to live and a meeting ground for Latins, Sabines, and Etruscans.
		The idea of the old Roman courage and morality, however, was kept alive by such staunch conservatives as Cato the Elder.

	Old Man in Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The old man's politics infuriate Nately, who believes whole-heartedly in loyalty and patriotism.
		His age, 107, can also be interpreted as how long (metaphorically) a politician's reign in office will be if he becomes as fluid as this.
		However, even this old cynical survivor dies when subject to Catch-22 (when the MPs raid his brothel).

	Faction Paradox: Warlords of Utopia
		The old man is rescued by two passing centurions, but in the confusion he loses a remarkable item of jewellery which is later confiscated by the local magistrate.
		The old man seems to be looking for somewhere to escape to, which Marcus finds odd, as he can’t conceive of anyone wanting to escape from the utopia that is Rome.
		The old man then tries to compel Marcus to hand over the bangle, and as they struggle, they are somehow transported to a building where the centurions are equipped with metal boxes that speak to them.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Galileo Galilei
		The moon was shown not to be, as the old astronomy taught, a smooth and perfect sphere, of different nature to the earth, but to possess hills and valleys and other features resembling those of our own globe.
		On the contrary, coming to Rome in 1611, he was received in triumph; all the world, clerical and lay, flocked to see him, and, setting up his telescope in the Quirinal Garden belonging to Cardinal Bandim, he exhibited the sunspots and other objects to an admiring throng.
		He left Rome, however, with the evident intention of violating the promise extracted from him, and, while he pursued unmolested his searches in other branches of science, he lost no opportunity of manifesting his contempt for the astronomical system which he had promised to embrace.

	Major —— de Coverly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was under the impression that the city was, in fact, liberated, after Yossarian moved a red ribbon a few inches north on an official map, which indicated the location of allied troops (this was in an effort to avoid flying on a suicidal mission to Bologna).
		Major —— de Coverly wears an eyepatch because the old man from the whore-house threw a flower into his eye during a particularly exuberant liberation celebration.
		Due to the fact that he didn't want to impair his vision (and thereby his endless games of horseshoes), he ordered the eye patch that covered the wound to be made of transparent cellulite.

	Ancient History Sourcebook: Cicero: Old Age, c. 65 BCE
		Cicero as a man, in spite of his self-importance, the vacillation of his political conduct in desperate crises, and the whining despondency of his times of adversity, stands out as at bottom a patriotic Roman of substantial honesty, who gave his life to check the inevitable fall of the commonwealth to which he was devoted.
		Yet after all the style of speech suitable to an old man is the quiet and unemotional, and it often happens that the chastened and calm delivery of an old man eloquent secures a hearing.
		And again, when man's natural frame is resolved into its elements by death, it is clearly seen whither each of the other elements departs: for they all go to the place from which they came: but the soul alone is invisible alike when present and when departing.

	Roman Clothing, Part I
		Ancient Rome was very much a “face-to-face” society (actually more of an “in-your-face” society), and public display and recognition of status were an essential part of having status.
		The laurel wreath on the head of the next man and his special robes indicate that he is an emperor, while the uniform and cloak of the following man identify him as a general.
		Prostitutes of the lowest class, the street-walker variety, were compelled to wear a plain toga made of coarse wool to announce their profession, and there is some evidence that women convicted of adultery might have been forced to wear “the prostitute's toga” as a badge of shame.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Fortune's Favorites (Masters of Rome Series #3) - Colleen McCullough - Mass Market ...
		The third installment in McCullough's magnum opus (after The First Man in Rome, LJ 9/15/90, and The Grass Crown, Morrow, 1991) continues her chronicle of the decline of the Roman Republic and the impending rise of the Roman Empire.
		The novel's events are dominated by Sulla's return from exile and subsequent installation as Rome's first dictator in almost 200 years; Pompey the Great's machinations as the wealthy provincial, which clears his own path upward through Roman politics; and the maturing of Gaius Julius Caesar, who will ultimately set Rome upon it's imperial course.
		Sulla, his early beauty gone, scabrous, toothless, and given to bouts with the wineskin, takes over Rome as Dictator, issues a blizzard of new laws returning rule to the patricians (landed aristocrats), and banishes all masks and effigies of his old partner and foe, the late Gaius Marius (The First Man in Rome).

		The "old man in Rome" is expressing his beliefs as were taught to him when he was young and raised in a conservative tradition that was under siege by the Communists.
		In the final analysis, the issue is whether you are mature enough to develop your own faith, or so co-dependent you must have it defined by others.
		I will take 1 person whose faith comes from a free expression of will and desire, over the millions who feel that only an old man in Rome and his self absorbed cohorts can define their faith for them.
