Animula vagula blandula......

Animula, vagula, blandula

Hospes comesque corporis

Quae nunc abibis in loca

Pallidula, rigida, nudula,

Nec, ut soles, dabis iocos...

 

(P. Aelius Hadrianus Imp.)

 

 

Roving amiable little soul,

Body's companion and guest,

Now descending for parts

Colourless, unbending, and bare

Your usual distractions no more shall be there...

 

(HADRIAN's VILLA, Tivoli

Built by the Emperor Hadrian, starting from 117 A.D.,

it is the most extensive ancient roman villa,

covering an area of at least 80 hectares, more or less as Pompeii.)
