Blame the Goths (because of the sack of Rome in 410)--the Germans can foot the bill.
Verginius Rufus was qualified to be emperor but didn't want the job. Exact opposite of the current president.

I've been in Pisa and don't remember there being a colosseum there.
A friend told me he was once in Verona and wanted to find how to get to the local amphitheater (one of the best-preserved ancient amphitheaters). So he asked a local "where is the Colosseum?" The guy looked at him as if he were crazy and replied, "in Rome."

To be fair, they had to build a 13 ft deep foundation slab without rebar.

Exact opposite of the current president. Total agreement!

My house is settling, too. They just don’t build things like they used to.... oh, never mind.

Bury some soaker hoses around the outside. Learned that this weekend along with “No, you don’t pound the sharp end of the nail.”
