We drove just outside of Rome to Tivoli to check out another archeological ruin – Hadrian’s Villa.
Essentially, the Roman Emperor Hadrian built this villa – the size of the entire city of Pompeii – because he wasn’t happy with his existing palace in Rome. He used it has a glorified holiday house before moving there permanently during the later years of his reign. He then continued to rule The Holy Roman Empire….using the postal service.
