Is there another civilisation as evocative and exciting as the
Romans? Given the chance, I’m sure most of us would love to
spend a day or two in Ancient Rome, and with this issue’s City
Guide (page 20) you can get close to doing just that. Discover
the history of the Pantheon (pictured), the Colosseum and
some of Rome’s lesser-known ancient spots.
You’ll find yourself at the heart of the Jacobite rising of
1745 on page 32, in the fortress that refused to
allow Bonnie Prince Charlie and his troops
inside. It’s a fascinating story, with an
equally fascinating building at its centre.
On page 48, you’ll discover what awaited
the millions who passed through Ellis
Island’s immigration centre, as well as
discovering how easy it is to look for your
ancestors in the passenger records.
Then, we venture inside the cool
calm of Cappadocia’s churches in
Turkey (page 42), carved from rock and
decorated with frescos. So, get ready to
experience all of this and much more.
