So far, we have enjoyed Rome quite a bit but we are on a tight budget as my mom, Ervin, Pic and Diane can attest. Since our room eats up over 70% of our budget (ouch!), we don’t have a lot of walking around money. But this has not stopped us from seeing things – today we spent only 13 euros but managed to see Santa Maria della Vitterio, St Peters including the Pieta, the Pantheon, and St Ignacio – all famous (well sort of famous) things. Plus we learned a lot by snooping in on tour groups…..when in Rome.
In fact, we walked into Santa Maria unintentionally. We couldn’t find the national museum of Rome (free), but we saw this and said let’s walk in. Turned out to be one of the highlights of the day. The church was Michaelangelo’s last architectural work which was built on the Roman Dioclesians baths (our loyal readers know how much we love baths).
You gotta love Rome.

I think so, michael. we saw another reference to diocletian today regarding a temple in the ruins.
The same Diocletian as the one in Split?
