A Light on the Heart of Rome
<p>It is said that this scenic and theatrical effect was carefully designed at the request of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Emperor Augustus</em></a> himself, who wanted to be able to cross the threshold of the temple with his body completely bathed in sunlight.</p>
<p>In reality, history shows us a somewhat more complex reality than this.</p>
<p>Before going any further, however, I would like to point out that <strong>I am neither an architect nor an art historian</strong>, but only a curious Roman, so I apologise in advance if what I write below may be partly or completely inaccurate.</p>
<p>What I have written is only the result of watching a few documentaries and reading scattered readings that I have enjoyed precisely because of my enormous curiosity.</p>
