Tunnels under the baths of Caracalla to reopen
#1
in December. Among the things to see will be the largest mithraeum in the empire. (Picks another reason to go to Rome.)

Blimey! I'd never even heard of that place! What with this and the Constantine show in Milan, it looks like a trip to Italy in the spring then... :-)

(hopefully these subterranean bits will not prove as frustratingly difficult to access as the Domus Aurea...)

Thanks Ben

I'm planning my trip to Rome next year and the list of what not to miss is getting so long I'll be there for a month!!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Alas that it wasn't open when my wife and I were there in July.

'To celebrate the reopening, Michelangelo Pistoletto has installed his conceptual work Il Terzo Paradiso (the third heaven)'

They can't just open the site, oh no, they have to have some weird stuff there too. Let me guess, the artist most probably talks of having a 'connection' with the art of the ancients, Oh puhleeeese! :errr:
Excuse the rant but recently I've been getting a whole lot of 'oh don't you do anything that's more up to date?'!

Looks like a fantastic place to visit, anyone know the official website for opening times etc?
