Why doesn't this T9 recognize a fourth declension ablative?

Oh boy, England are terrible, maybe even worse than France.

Yes it is, but nicer coming into Trieste. But you get to see that too when you travel from Grado.

I've tried the Aquileia-Grado combination and it didn't work, but I travelled from Venice instead of Trieste, that should save you some time. Bring a map of Aquileia, there are bits and pieces all over the place and they're not signposted.

That's my way of travelling too, at least when I travel alone. Still, I think you'll be running out of time in some of those places, especially Venice, Parma, Aquileia/Grado/Trieste, Ravenna and Bologna. Looks like you've taken care of your Mondays, always tricky. If Velleia proves too difficult (don't know, never been there), consider Marzabotto instead. Just a short train ride south of Bologna. If you take a day to see Monselice and Este, you might as well visit nearby Montagnana.

Really? Brazil only need one more win to see them through. I could see Portugal having a really hard time against N Korea, or maybe that's just wishful thinking...

Are you Japanese?

Not at all, Rimini just gets a bad rep because of the beach crowd, but if you go there out of season it's a really nice place, less sleepy than Ravenna. The Malatesta temple is quite a sight, as are the Roman bridge and arch. If you visit the amphitheatre, you can ring the bell at the school nextdoor and someone will give you the key to the gate.

They are all excellent cities, I particularly like Parma. Not so much in the way of things Roman, though. Also, I'd say it is rather a lot for just two weeks. If I were you I'd settle for the Veneto/Friuli/Romagna region and leave the rest for another trip. Anyway, to make matters more difficult for you: Rimini has its famous Roman monuments, a nice town that shouldn't yet be overrun by horrendous tourist crowds. When in Ravenna, make sure to visit Classe as well. It has its own train station a short distance from the basilica. If you walk back to the city (a long walk), you'll pass by the excavations of the old port. I believe a bus may also take you there, not sure though. Bologna has an excellent Egyptian museum. In Venice, take a boat ride to Torcello to see the city's roots.

Don't miss Aquileia. You can get there relatively easily by taking a train to Cervignano, then the bus in the direction of Grado. The museum at Brescia is not to be missed, either. If you take an interest in post-Roman Italy, the old Longobard capital of Cividale del Friuli (east of Udine) should be on the list. A beautiful museum and the Tempietto is quite unique. For pre-Roman Italy, head for the museum in Este (inbetween Padova and Ferrara). Padova itself has a good collection, as well. Trieste has a few Roman remains, I wouldn't go there just to see them, but it's a really nice city, and a stunning train ride getting there from Venice.

Some friend

Give us a clue then.

Yes, both Capua and Pozzuoli, iirc.

Quite a few respectable names on that list, I'm surprised they'd let themselves be involved in messy Balkan politics. I don't think I'm buying this.

You mean the American rockets designed by a former member of the SS?

From what I've read it was part of Trajan's baths that collapsed, not the domus aurea. Not that that makes it any better, of course. A bad day for Rome, as part of the Aurelian walls also collapsed today.

If this is the one with the wonderful altar in the corner (or maybe that's Menander, I always get confused) then it's my favorite Pompeian domus. I think I've been inside, saw a bakery and a horse skeleton being excavated, it's quite impressive and a treat if you can get to see it. Do you have an itinerary planned yet?

The first to build a new one, perhaps. But Vespasian resided mainly in the horti of Sallust, which were second only to the domus aurea in opulence.

Some interesting goings on in Ostia by the look of it, and this is your chance to get into Portus. Otherwise, a cursory glance through the list doesn't overly impress me, to be honest. Nothing you couldn't see/get into otherwise. I'm not slagging off the culture week, I've stood in line for 4.5 hrs a few years ago to get into Palazzo Farnese (it was worth the wait), but I'm not blown away by this list.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!
