said that it was used as a cap of sewage during the Roman

Empire but we don't know if it is true. In medieval times, when

they interrogated someone politically, they put the criminals hand

into the mouth of this statue and warned them that their

hand would be cut off unless they tell the truth. Since then, it has

been called "the mouth of truth." In the film , it

There are many fountains in Rome. Amongst them is the Trevi

Fountain which is considered to be the most beautiful. The Trevi

Fountain is decorated with intricate sculptures and it is one of the

most spectacular fountains in the world. If you take a look closely,

you will see Poseidon, the God of the sea located in the middle. It

was made of one huge stone and designed in the Baroque style

in the 18th century. Also, the Trevi Fountain is full of various coins

from around the world. People throw their coins with their right

hands over their left shoulder, with their back to the fountain.

There is a myth that the first coin that you throw into the fountain

will lead you into coming back to Rome. The second one means

A pantheon is the temple of all gods. It is a round shaped Roman

temple. There are elaborate sculptures of Catholic saints inside of

Pantheon. The highlight of the visit is its ceiling as it is impressive

to have a dome without a pole. For two thousand years, its dome

without a pillar hasn't collapsed at all. Also, the sunlight

mysteriously comes into the center of this dome and rain does

not enter into of the dome. This is a very scientifically intelligent

design. The rain either passes by the hole or spontaneously

evaporates because of the pressure difference due to the rising

of hot air from the pantheon.
