It is conceivable that when Oka came to this land full of myths and history for the first time, even after a long journey, she was a little weak and depressed for a few days. When she saw the beautiful and majestic mountain peak in the Alps, Coria couldn’t help but feel funny.
After entering Italy, you need to travel again. The dense roads of the city are unblocked, and it is already a rich and comfortable land. After arriving at the Alps, Oka decided to stop at the foot of the mountain and make a special’ gate’ by the former military camp. Imperial officials stopped by the rest town for a day to visit the Alps, where the snow has not melted and the scenery is still beautiful.
However, it never occurred to Orca that he made a sudden decision to unexpectedly meet an old friend in this small town at the foot of the mountain.
Oka and his party arrived in the small town near noon. Just after lunch, there was a noise at the entrance of the small town. It seems that there is another way for imperial officials to rest in the small town. The original Oka didn’t care that there were no other officials in the small town when he came. After all, it is just the usual practice for local officials to routinely go to Rome for the peak of their debriefing. However, it is normal for Oka to meet some officials because he is too junior and those officials have never met before. Orca, a city man, didn’t care at first until a street shopping knight came back and told the name of the imperial general who had just arrived in the small town and also went to Rome to report on his work. Orca’ exposed’ his extremely surprised expression.
He actually knew and had contact with the bearer, which was quite rare. The bearer was the young Marcus, the head of Claudia, the seventh Eagle Flag Corps, who had fought bloody battles with his comrades in Germany. Hornos? Aguilera!
In my mind, I quickly recalled that once Marcus turned his mind, Orca suddenly got up with a smile at the corner of his mouth and said to the guards not far away, "Immediately call ten knights and prepare some special products and gifts for me. My horse is going to meet the general Marcus at his couch."
"Er Zun Ge" A few men were sitting at the next table playing poker. Okafa quickly swept the British knights and got up and replied with a slight Zheng.
Oka decided to meet this old friend who hasn’t seen me for more than a year. Besides meeting is fate, he really wants to catch up with the past. Another reason is that Marcus happens to have what Oka needs most now. Please remember the website. If you like snowy romance, write Glory to Rome.

"Finally arrived in Rome! Let me hug you heartily! "
Riding on the hill, Oka looked at the huge and magnificent city building with his arms open and the sun seemed to have a faint halo. He sincerely gave a cry and went far with the wind.
"It seems that this is your first visit to Rome?" At this time, there is a sound next to it.
Slightly convergent face excited’ color’ Orca turned his head to look at Marcus, who was also looking at Rome in front of him with his head held high, but his expression was not’ excited’ but with a meaningful memory’ color’
"It’s really my first time here," Oka nodded and then asked in a deliberately mocking tone. "But you seem to have had an unforgettable memory here?"
Marcus smiled and didn’t answer, but stared straight at the distant city of Rome, lost in his own world.
Oka didn’t disturb Marcus’ thoughts, but also thought about his own affairs.
After Marcus met in the Alps, they had a "hand in hand" talk. Perhaps it was really congenial. Soon they became friends and both of them agreed to go to Rome for a debriefing. Marcus came alone and brought some guards and servants. There was nothing personal to deal with. Marcus simply discussed the merger of the two teams and agreed to go with them. Oka was naturally reluctant to go with them because he was very comfortable when he was on duty. After knowing that Oka promised to accompany Coria to visit the scenery while the snow in the Alps had not melted, Marcus joined in happily, so more than 100 people joined in the Alps after the merger.
The next day, everyone set off together, first through the mountain pass, then through the passage guarded by the Turkish army to cross the Alps and enter Italy. After that, the route was a road leading to Rome and finally arrived at the final destination today.
In front of us, that majestic city, which extend along the Tiber river and include seven hills surrounded by green mountains and green water, and several tall and magnificent buildings can be seen in the distance, is the eternal city Rome, the European holy land of the whole medieval era, the original birthplace of the capital of the Roman Empire!
When &e was first established, it was already based on textual research. Even in this era, Roman scholars have different opinions on the exact date of its establishment, but the approximate age can be traced back to the 7th century BC. There are also many different opinions about the naming of Rome. Most of them will eventually be associated with two characters, that is, the mother wolf raised her twin brothers Romulus and remus because of Romulus’s name, which is understandable from the Latin etymology, that is, it is likely that Rome was named after the hero, the original resident, or according to the Latin Rom, which means "breast room", which may imply that Romulus was raised.
The establishment of Rome is a moment of great significance. It is not only a sign that it will lead the historical tide after the prosperity and decline of Greece in the future, but also a time when a great nation rises. It is also a symbol of the Roman era, because "Roman era" means "from the establishment of Rome"
The city of Rome is located in the Tiber River plain in the middle and west of Italy. The city foundation mainly covers the area around seven famous hills, that is, the origin of the Seven Hills of Rome. The ancient names of the Seven Hills of Rome are Kema Lu Si Cermalus, Chespius Cispius, Fagual of raoul coutard, Opius Oppius, Palatini P, Sukusha Suusa and Velia of Vyria. When the city was first built, these seven hills were important religious and political centers, and we are familiar with the fact that the founder of Rome was suckled by wolves, and his twin brother Romulus Romuus.
The most famous and mysterious introduction to the Seven Churches in Rome comes from a prophecy in the Bible Revelation. In Chapter 17 of Revelation, it says, "A woman is riding a scarlet beast with seven heads and ten horns and blasphemous names all over her body." And the angel said to the evangelist St. John.
Wisdom can think here that the seven heads are the seven mountains where the’ female’ people sit, and the seven kings and five kings have fallen, one is still there, and one has not come to him, so it is necessary to stay temporarily.
Then the angel added that the’ woman’ you saw was all the kings of the land.
Later generations in the field of biblical hermeneutics, biblical scholars have a great controversy about which city and which king this passage refers to. Protestants have long recognized that Chapter 17 of Revelation refers to the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church, and that seat is the Bishop of Rome. Part of the Pope’s property is located in Rutland Cathedral, which is located in one of the seven hills in Rome, namely Xilian Mountain. However, according to the Rutland Treaty, it is located in Italy rather than papal territory, so the Vatican actually controls the territory, which is not connected with the seven hills in Rome.
However, it makes sense to put it another way, that is, at the end of the apocalypse, early Christians, including the Bishop of Rome, were all persecuted by the Roman Empire, and Rome was called "the city where the seven hills are located" in history, which can explain to some extent that the seven Caesar’s names for the emperors here, that is, Caesar’s names for the deputy emperors in the late Roman Empire, including Nero, the Caesar’s name, add up to the number "666" again in numerology.
Of course, Catholic apologists insist that the holy city of Jerusalem also has seven hills, but in fact, all seven hills in Jerusalem are the same mountain, that is, the Mount of Olives, so it is actually a mountain, and Jerusalem does not meet the other conditions predicted, that is, it has "other kings and emperors who rule the earth" and meets all the conditions, that is, the city of Rome.
Of course, it is understandable that a great nation always has a sense of belonging and complex to the original birthplace of its own nation. Like China people in Luoyang, Chang ‘an, they will naturally try their best to add all kinds of myths and auspicious words to it.
Of course, these are not really exciting when I first met Orca, the city of Rome. The reason is that he is still a Chinese grandson, and it is impossible to feel a sense of belonging to Rome after finishing his homeland. Moreover, he is a soldier and knows almost all these historical allusions.
The reason why Oka felt shocked from the heart when he saw Rome in front of him was much simpler. It was a witness to the history. The mentality of tourists is just like your heart suddenly throbbing when the ancient city of Chang ‘an was suddenly buried in the long river of history.
What is Rome? It is a city to symbolize a huge imperial city that has lasted for thousands of years. It is a city that represents the peak of the development of human culture in Europe in the Middle Ages. It is the greatest city in which Chang ‘an stood side by side as the whole earth. It is a city that is still amazing thousands of years later. In the first century BC, the population of Rome finally reached its peak of one million! A numerology that is amazing even in the East, where the population has always been prosperous, is that Rome has become the center of the whole empire in terms of geography, economy and politics. In fact, this central position did not finally lose its crown until the century A.D., even at the end of the previous empire, after the natural disaster, the population dropped sharply, and even the capital status was replaced by Milan and Constantinople, ravenna.
There are too many stories, too many histories and too many miracles here. The Seven Hills of Rome remember a triumph full of hardships and magic history. It witnessed the rise and fall of an ancient empire. The Dome Pillar Pantheon showed us the religious thinking of ancient Europeans and explored the world’s sources. The Imperial Council Square let us appreciate the highest achievement of ancient political development. The Senate inspired the glory of democracy and freedom in later generations. Every day, the Roman Colosseum performed bloody and barbaric dances, high-priced water bridges and waterways. The public baths make the whole city full of vitality, and the magnificent palace shows everyone the majesty and dignity of the Roman emperor. There are many Mu Si, which let us interpret the life of ordinary Romans in ancient times.
Rome is a place that gave birth to the greatest nation of an era, a city that witnessed a strange history of ups and downs, a place that inherits thought-provoking philosophy, pleasing aesthetics,’ touching’ science, creating politics, prospering and developing economy, and a strong and ever-victorious military, bearing numerous fruitful achievements in various fields of human culture. Its connotation and profound language will not fade even if it is passed down for thousands of years!
This is Rome!
A great city that Okafa doesn’t shock or shout!
"Orca, maybe I shouldn’t say such a thing at this time, but I still think I should wake you up. What you see in Rome is no longer Rome." Just as Orca was immersed in a trance of witnessing history with his own eyes, he suddenly heard Marcus say a very surprising thing.
I turned my head and looked at Marcus, but the latter didn’t give an explanation or the answer was that the eyes were deep and convinced that what I just said was not sick. Oka took a deep look at Marcus and then turned his head again. He didn’t ask questions at all, because some things are better to be a qualified listener when others are willing to say it themselves.
"Marcus, if your memory is over, I suggest we enter the city at once." After a long time, Orca suddenly reined in and said.
"Huh?" Marcus waited for Orca’s eyes to look at the gate of the majestic city. In front of the gate of the majestic city, teams of knights dressed in purple armor were scattered around and lined up outside the city to form a welcoming ceremony team, followed by cheers. One was riding a tall and pure white horse, dressed in gold armor and wearing fresh clothes.
"Flag of Gratian Temple?" Marcus looked back at Orca’s face and said, "It seems that your career has been more enviable than I expected since Germanic farewell!"
Oka sat astride Bucephalus’s generous horse and smiled without saying a word. Please remember the website. If you like snowy romance, write Glory to Rome.

In fact, Oka was flattered. I didn’t think that Gratian Hall would personally go out of the city to meet such condescending closeness, so that Oka couldn’t detect a little strange after the "shock" because in a strict sense, Oka didn’t really join the Hall Sect today, and he was only an acquaintance at best. After all, all the previous "contacts" were connected through the line of Emperor Valenian.
The so-called saying "offering affection is not" rape "but stealing" is the condensed wisdom of the ancient people in China. It may not be appropriate here, but it is missing a point that the Gratian Temple seems to be interested in itself for some reason or because it has been stimulated to deal with "sex" action. It is the first step.
This is the only logical speculation in Orca’s mind when he led the team to the city’s’ gate’ and saw a golden armor first. Gratian greeted him from a group of purple guards and fighters with a warm smile.
What happened later also confirmed Oka’s idea. After a warm greeting, Grati Anbi suddenly said, "Since my loyal friend has come to Rome, he should also let my host have a good welcome. Don’t refuse because of my status!"
