在西方人的眼中,世界十大古都是哪些城市呢?报道称,国外评选出的这十座城市中,有的可能已经位于废墟之下,但在当年辉煌之时,这些名城的确在世界上占着举足轻重的地位。
1.Rome
It's impossible to Stroll through modern Rome and not bump into reminders of its ancient past. The Forum, the Colosseum and the Pantheon, just to name a few, are lasting testaments to the capital of an empire once made up of 2.5 million square miles, three continents and about 100 million people. The empire reached its zenith
in 117 AD, when the emperor Trajan ruled from Rome and months-long gladiator games were held to celebrate the city's glory.
古罗马
即便徜徉在现代的罗马城里,你也无法不被它的历史遗迹所震撼。古罗马广场、圆形大剧场和万神殿都是古罗马曾经风光无限的有力证据。这座曾经占地 250万平方英里的都城由3块陆地组成,人口达到1亿。公元117年罗马帝国盛极一时,罗马皇帝图拉真曾举行长达数月的格斗表演以庆祝帝国的辉煌。
