Rome is located in the central and western part of the Apennine Peninsula, on seven hills in the plains of the lower reaches of the Tiber River.
It is the capital of Italy and the largest city in Italy. It is also the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of Italy. With a history of more than 2,800 years, it is a world-famous historical and cultural city.
Due to its long history, Rome is also known as the ‘Eternal City’, the ‘City of Ten Thousand Cities’, and the ‘City of Seven Hills’. It is one of the greatest cities in the Western world.
Just the name Rome means greatness in the eyes of Westerners.
It is closely connected with the greatest empire in Western history, the Roman Empire. It is the birthplace and capital of the great Roman Empire and the place where countless major historical events took place.
In the city’s long history of more than 2,800 years, it has experienced the heyday of the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire, the darkness of the Middle Ages, and the spring breeze of the Renaissance.
Caesar the Great once strategized here, conquered thousands of miles, and conquered the entire Western world; Octavian established the great Roman Empire in this city; but Emperor Constantine split the empire into two.
During the Middle Ages, it was ravaged and plundered by the Goths, sent here and there as gifts by French kings, and almost completely burned down by a fire by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.
When the humanistic spring breeze of the Renaissance movement blew, this ancient city came to life again and changed its identity, becoming a center of cultural and artistic activities during the Renaissance and Baroque eras.
This is a great city and one of the birthplaces of world culture. It shines with incomparable brilliance in Western history and even in the history of the entire world, making countless people yearn for it.
For people who believe in Catholicism, Rome is one of the holy places in their hearts!
To be more precise, it should be said that the Vatican, the seat of the Catholic Church in Rome, is the holy place in the hearts of all Catholics.
Rome is the center of the Catholic Church in the world. There are more than 700 churches and monasteries, seven Catholic universities, and the city within the city, the Vatican, is the residence of the Catholic Pope and the Holy See.
This is also a central city of the Renaissance, parallel to Florence, and a gathering of humanities.
In the city of Rome, in addition to a large number of ancient buildings left over from the ancient Roman period and other periods, the city also has many beautiful buildings left over from the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
It is these historical buildings that span more than 2,800 years that make this city antique and full of historical charm.
For Ye Tian, Rome, the world’s largest ‘open-air museum’, is full of fatal attraction, attracting him all the time and making him come here.
Here is the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the National Museum of Rome, etc., and of course, there are countless secrets left over from the ancient Roman Republic over the past two thousand years!
All of this is the reason and purpose that prompted Ye Tianqian to come to Rome, and it is not just cooperation with the Vatican to jointly explore the treasures of the Knights Templar.
When Ye Tian and his team arrived on the outskirts of Rome, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening. The sun was setting, the lights were beginning to shine, and twilight gradually enveloped the entire world.
Seeing the brightly lit ancient city in the distance, Ye Tian couldn’t help but excitedly said loudly:
“Great Rome, the Eternal City! Here comes my brother, I hope we can create the most brilliant and charming sparks and shock the whole world!”
Betty, who was sitting next to him, was equally excited, looking at the city ahead with eyes full of anticipation.
The convoy continued to drive quickly along the highway. Rome shrouded in twilight became more and more clear and charming, and it was intoxicating!
At this moment, Cole’s voice suddenly came from the earphones.
“Steven, Leonardo, who returned to the Vatican early, brought a group of members of the Swiss Guard to greet us, along with Cardinal Kent.
In addition to them, two groups of special police officers from the Rome Police Department and the cultural relics gendarmes led by Giovanni were also dispatched and were waiting for us not far ahead. It was quite a scene.”
After hearing the report, Ye Tian immediately said:
“The scene does sound big, but these guys all have their own purposes. After meeting Leonardo and Cardinal Kent’s motorcade, I immediately got on the intercom and I chatted with those old friends.
As for the Roman special police and Giovanni’s guys, don’t pay attention to them for the time being. When we enter Rome and then the Vatican, those guys will definitely come up to warn us. This is inevitable”
“Got it, Steven”
Cole responded with a smile, his tone very relaxed.
The convoy drove forward for some distance, and when it passed a fork in the road, six or seven SUVs with Vatican flags suddenly drove out of the fork in the road and followed the convoy.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of my old friend Cardinal Kent came over the intercom.
“Good evening, Steven, I am Kent, welcome to Rome, welcome to the Vatican, we have been looking forward to it day and night, and finally we have you here. It is really not easy!”
“Hahaha, good evening, Bishop of Kent. I am really flattered that you value it so much and look forward to it day and night. Unfortunately, there are too many cultural relics and monuments in Italy that make people forget to leave, so it has been delayed so far!”
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, joking with Bishop Kent.
After chatting for a while, Leonardo suddenly interrupted and said in a slightly solemn tone:
“Good evening, Steven, I am Leonardo. Welcome to Rome. You and your group, as well as your heavy fleet, are now the focus of countless people, including the Romans.
If you enter Rome in such a high-profile manner, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, attract the attention of countless people, and even trigger protests or other unexpected events.
For the sake of safety, it is best for us to guide you into Rome, avoid those bustling areas as much as possible, avoid the eyes and ears of most people in the city, and enter the Vatican quietly.
In this way you will miss the beautiful night views of many famous scenic spots, which is somewhat of a pity, but from a safety perspective, this is the best way. You are making too much noise during the day! “
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
“Good evening, Leonardo, your suggestion is very good. I have no objection. Next, it will be up to you to guide us and take us into Rome.
In this way, maybe we can see another side of Rome. As for the beautiful night views of those famous scenic spots, there is no need to rush, there is plenty of time to enjoy them slowly.”
“Okay, Steven, we will speed up to the front of the convoy immediately and guide you into Rome, but your four heavy trucks can no longer follow. The streets in Rome are too narrow and cannot be used!”
“Understood, Leonardo, you just lead the way. As for the four heavy-duty trucks, I will let my men drive elsewhere. Their **** mission has been completed for the time being”
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and told Cole to make arrangements and notify the accompanying police personnel to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Soon, Leonardo and his several cars quickly overtook the convoy from the side lane, and in a blink of an eye they had overtaken the convoy and began to lead the way.
Then they drove forward for a few hundred meters. When the convoy arrived at the edge of Rome, Ye Tian and the others saw a large field of flashing police lights from a distance, which was very dazzling in the dusk!
There were more than ten or twenty police cars from the Rome Police Department and the Italian Heritage Carabinieri. They were parked at a fork in the road ahead, waiting in full formation, making the atmosphere quite tense!
At this time in Rome, the news that Ye Tian and the others were about to arrive had spread like the wind throughout the city and to almost everyone’s ears.
“That ruthless **** Steven is coming to Rome. With his gang of extremely tough and brutal men and that devil’s motorcade riddled with bullets, he is about to enter the city of Rome!”
The moment they heard the news, almost every Roman felt frightened and frightened!
