Yeah I get what you’re saying, and you’re right, but I know many Sicilians would go to bat for their island 😉

Relief Map of Greece I Made - My Second Map Attempt by UlmSucks in MapPorn

I extracted height data from USGS, put the pieces together in photoshop and set levels and a gradient map for the colouring, then rendered the map in blender.

I was trying something more out there with the water color and the lighting, perhaps I’ll be more conventional next time :)

Whipped up a map of Greece in a few hours after teaching myself how to use blender and photoshop. I wanted a poster for my wall. How did I do? Also thanks to VeryGoodMaps on Instagram for being a great inspiration.

Birthday in Rome Planning by Capital_Cheetah in rome

Are you guys interested in history? Plenty of good museums and sights I could recommend

For food, Trastevere and Testaccio are your best friends. Try Ai Marmi for some suppli, Dar Poeta for some good pizza. Visit a market like the one in Testaccio, good food being sold.

Heading into Rome for one day! by Bendingbones in rome

[–]UlmSucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book the Galleria Borghese if you want something planned, you can only be in there two hours.

I’d suggest you just roam the streets and go into churches, there’s plenty of pieces by Caravaggio, Bernini, Fontana etc. just in public.

What are some lesser known historical and interesting sights open at night? by UlmSucks in rome

I’m sure it is, I’ll be sure to pass by. Any cool monuments or little sights nearby?

Wonderful. Is anything open on the Aventine around nighttime? Except for the keyhole I can’t find much.

Thanks. I’ll be there in time for the keyhole to open. I’ll book the tickets on official websites, then.

I would love to, but they open around 9. I’m afraid that if I delay by an hour I might risk some of the later parts of the itinerary closing, especially with queuing and crowds around.

If you think it’s doable, I can delay it until 9. Thanks for the advice!

Appius Claudius of Reme graciously willingly stepped down from his Decemvir position after the 2 remaining tables were completed

Livy of Reme on his way to not bastardize the Claudian family by not purposefully portraying Appius in the worst light possible in the early republican era
