Centurions and police clash in Rome

Post by owen »

"Tourists in Rome yesterday may have felt they had stepped back in time as Roman centurions - complete with red skirts, tunics, armour, swords and feathered helmets - fought in front of the Colosseum.
...
Italy's culture ministry says the men have no permits, often harass and stalk tourists, ask for exorbitant amounts and disfigure the historic image of the centurion by wearing jeans under their skirts"

There are BUMS on street corners all over the world. The trousers under the tunics shows them to simply be BUMS with another idea to take money from folks without earning it. :faint:

I should be able to give you an update on the current situation - Both myself and Mrs ST will be going to Rome for a weekend break (Fly out Friday and back on Monday)

I also understand on 21st April, it is the anniversary of the founding of Rome (2765 years ago !) so there should be some celebrations about..
