Places: Rome

Throughout its history, Rome has been  the first great metropolis of humanity. It was the heart of one of the most important ancient civilizations, which influenced society, culture, language, literature, art, architecture, philosophy, religion, law and the dress of later centuries.

It  was capital of the Roman Empire, which extended its domain over the entire Mediterranean basin and much of Europe, and the Papal States, subject to the temporal power of the Popes.

Rome, the heart of the Catholic religion is the only city in the world which  hasn't  a foreign state inside it. For this reason the enclave of Vatican City has been known as the capital of two states.
