Weird Sites in Rome, Take Seven

As grand as this doorway is, I have no idea why they placed that little square shaped atrocity up there. Is it a light? A smoke detector? An alarm? A time traveler’s portal? What the frak, Jack?

Many of my photos from Rome have this issue. I knew it would be a place where ruins creep up on you out of nowhere, in otherwise modern, urban surroundings. But I didn’t expect so much urbanization of the ruins themselves.

Rome is weird with a beard, man.
