Italy — The Dispatches
Rome
Ran an empire, then became the headquarters of a religion — and it's still the only city on earth with an entire sovereign country, the Vatican, walled off inside it. A gladiatorial arena marooned in the traffic, the Pantheon's concrete dome standing since Hadrian, and long lunches down the Trastevere lanes. Ancient everything, basically.
