@routes_italy: i learned the crazy truth about how this is actually the site where julius caesar was assassinated in 44 bc. the ruins are part of four temples dating back to the roman republic, alongside the remains of the Theatre of Pompey, where caesar was killed during a meeting of the senate. so yes, those cats are casually living among the ruins of one of the most infamous political assassinations in history. 🐈 rome really does have a way of hiding its darkest stories in plain sight. next time you’re wandering around the city, open Routes and take a photo of something you don’t recognize. you might be standing somewhere that changed history without even knowing it. #rome #romeguide #romehistory #ancientrome #romeitaly
