SPQR

On August 9, 2018

Throughout history, SPQR was the symbol of Rome. You will see it everywhere in the modern city, including on manhole covers.

If you are a fan of movies or documentaries, you would have seen SPQR everywhere!

SPQR is an initialism of a phrase in Latin: Senātus Populusque Rōmānus (“The Roman Senate and People”, or more freely as “The Senate and People of Rome”; referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic, and used as an official emblem of the modern-day municipality of Rome. It appears on Roman currency, at the end of documents made public by an inscription in stone or metal, and in dedications of monuments and public works, and it was emblazoned on the vexilloids of the Roman legions.

A New Golden Age?

Golden Ages that bring a boom in prosperity for everyone are littered throughout history.

I have always been fascinated by history. Particularly, western civilization, philosophy, and the meaning of life.

There is so much we can learn from the past. We often think that our problems are unique to our age, when, in reality, every stage of human history shares a common human experience.

All young people think they are special and different from their parents, and, likewise, older generations feel the younger ones think they know everything!

When I was 26, I visited Greece, Egypt, and Israel (among other places). I crawled inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, strolled among the ruins of the Parthenon in Athens, lingered in the Agora where Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle congregated. I walked around the old city of Jerusalem on top of the original walls.
