Fit men walking around and bathing, it would be just like being in Ancient Rome [on a footballers dressing room — John Barrowman

Rome used to have good public art in ancient times. There is nothing like West of Rome in Italy. — Emi Fontana
I think the greatest truths, the ones that you find in every culture that has any sort of history of reflection of writing, the greatest truth is that there's nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so. That's the way Shakespeare put it. But you get basically the same idea from Buddha, from the Bhagavad Gita in India, and from the Stoics in ancient Greece and Rome. — Jonathan Haidt
It was stone carvers in ancient Rome, scribes in the Middle Ages, all the way through Gutenberg to the present day. That's a pretty long track record. More likely we may reach a point where each one of us is a typographer with our own custom proprietary typeface. — Michael Bierut
I love Paris for its wide boulevards and cafes, and Rome for the ancient history, as seen at the Forum. — Alan Titchmarsh
I would be literally patrician in the sense that the senators in ancient Rome were called conscript fathers, paters, from which comes the word patrician.

Internationally, ancient Rome and Greece cultures are just so fascinating. I don't think audiences will ever tire of it, because it's such an advanced society. — Jeremy Bolt

Their peaceful inhabitants enjoyed and abused the advantages of wealth and luxury. — Edward Gibbon
As the profoundest philosophy of ancient Rome and Greece lighted her taper at Israel's altar, so the sweetest strains of the pagan muse were swept from harps attuned on Zion's hill. — Edward Thomson

Is that thou utterest while all else is still--
The ancient voice that, centuries ago,
Sounded between thy hills, while Rome was yet
A weedy solitude by Tiber's stream! — William C. Bryant
Ancient Rome was a violent place. — James Purefoy
No slave system has ever been able to continue to function on the slaves provided by its own biological reproduction because the rate of human reproduction is too slow and the expense from infant mortality and years of unproductive upkeep of the young make this prohibitively expensive. This relationship is one of the basic causes of the American Civil War, and was even more significant in destroying ancient Rome. — Carroll Quigley

That's my style, and that's what my work is about. — Giambattista Valli
I devoured Gibbon. I rode triumphantly through it from end to end and enjoyed it all. — Winston Churchill

But, like Christians in ancient Rome, you can still spot them if you know the signals. — Jonah Goldberg

The causes which destroyed the ancient republics were numerous; but in Rome, one principal cause was the vast inequality of fortunes. — Noah Webster
Geological facts being of an historical nature, all attempts to deduce a complete knowledge of them merely from their still, subsisting consequences, to the exclusion of unexceptionable testimony, must be deemed as absurd as that of deducing the history of ancient Rome solely from the medals or other monuments of antiquity it still exhibits, or the scattered ruins of its empire, to the exclusion of a Livy, a Sallust, or a Tacitus. — Richard Kirwan
