I must respectfully point out that in the legend of Remus and Romulus, the twins were nursed by a wolf, not a lion. I distinctly remember this fact from my ?anticipated? Latin classes.

Catholic and Catholic

Rome is not the capital of Catholicism; it is the capital of Roman Catholicism. Catholicism has been around for 1500 years before the Roman Pope declared himself the highest authority and split Roman

Catholicism off from the ancient church, also known as Orthodox Catholicism. Catholic means universal, Roman Catholicism is not.

Nota bene:

Rome was burnt down in 63 AC, not BC.

The flight Newark-Rome is 6,600 km (not 6.600).

The Coliseum did not exist in year 63 AC (despite what all the movies on Nero show), it was completed in 67!

The Holy See is the Papal jurisdiction.

Saint Peter Basilica is the largest Catholic church in the world.

Saint Paul's, in London, comes second.

The third largest is in Milan.

The fourth, in Florence.

Anything you buy at the Vatican is duty-free

If you see SPQR written in a public sign or building in Rome, don't fret. It only means Senatus Populus Que Romano (the Senate and the People of Rome). Ah! Ah!
