  Umbilicus Mundi, the navel of the world, the centre of civilisation, by far the greatest city in Antiquity. The ¿most splendid of splendid cities¿ counted approximately one million inhabitants in its hey-day. Lavish provisions of food and wine, spectacles of urban decoration, magnificent temples and public buildings were the norm. Public baths, gardens, libraries, circuses, theatres and amphitheatres gave access to all the citizens of Rome. An elaborate network of roads and aqueducts, well maintained throughout the centuries, all led to the Eternal City. It must have appeared at the time that Rome would never end!
