The World’s First Lie Detector

Friday, April 17th, 2009

If you remember the movie ‘Roman Holiday,’ you will remember Gregory Peck sticking his hand in an ancient Roman Marble relic. The reason for this was the legend that if someone told a lie while their hand was in there, it would be amputated. The legend is true and you can see it for free to this day.
In reality, ancient manhole cover, but it is reality an ancient lie detector. The real legend is that Roman wives brought their husbands here and told them to put their hand in the mouth while asking them if they were faithful. If they lied they lost that limb.
If you want to see this monument for free, you can see it at our Rome Section of our website. If you would to see more free attractions like this from around the world, go to NonRevWebsite.com.

Where Caesar was Killed

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

Did you ever wonder where Julius Caesar was killed? It was not at the front of the Roman Forum. He was assassinated in the Theater of Pompey, where the Roman Senate was meeting temporarily while the old Senate House (a.k.a. “Curia”) in the Roman Forum was being reconstructed under Caesar’s orders as Dictator.

That’s why the surviving Senate House in the Forum is called the Curia Julia,  it’s the one that Julius Caesar founded and completed by his nephew/heir Octavian Caesar (later the Emperor Augustus) after he consolidated his power following the assassination and subsequent Civil War. It is amazing that it has survived to this day, relatively intact.

The Theater of “Pompeus” had a special Curia where Senators would meet to discuss politics, and this is where Brutus acted on the “Ides of March.” There is a Restaurant over the spot which they will let you see the exact spot. This is a great place to eat and experience history.

Free Food in Rome

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Rome has several Restaurants that are very successful at trapping unsuspecting tourists to overpaying. One of their tactics is to put wine, appetizers, and even bread at your table as soon as you sit down without even asking you. This practice leads the tourist to believe the food is complimentary until the bill arrives and they have to pay for the bread that was placed on thier table.

Other Restaurants, like Artu behide the Church of Santa Maria, actually give out free food at their Happy Hour. The spread is extensive with olives, pasta, and antipasta. People have been know to eat at this Happy Hour and not have to go to dinner afterwards. This is a rare find and something that can save your travel budget. Video of Artu

So if you happen the be in the city of Rome, Check out Artu. And if you do plan to go to  Happy Hour at Artu, Plan to  get there when it starts, at 7:00 PM. If you are late, you will miss some great food that is Free.
