En: The sun glowed over the ruins of Ancient Rooma, illuminating centuries-old columns and marble pavements. Fi: Aleksi käveli pitkin Via Appian kiemuraista polkua. En: Aleksi walked along the winding path of the Via Appia. Fi: Hän piti kädessään muistiinpanovihkoa, johon hän raapusti havaintojaan hienoista vesijohdoista.
