Today is the Ides of March, the day Julius Caesar was assasinated on the steps of the Theatre of Pompey. The Theatre of Pompey was located at the edge of the Campo de' Fiori in Rome, near where my sister Susan and I stayed when we visited Rome in May of 2019. We arrived in Rome after a long bus ride from Siena, and then had to take a cross-city bus ride to our hotel. Susan was all about having dinner and a glass of wine after that trip, while I was all about a nighttime walk across Rome. Susan won, and I took the above photograph of the restaurant on Campo de' Fiori that we dined at. And even after the sun set, we did not see the ghost of Julius Caesar. Go figure.
