Anyone who has ever visited Egypt, or know something about its monuments and then head to Roma, you will notice something that is truly unexpected, it turns out that many roman monuments are clearly influenced by the structure and architecture of many Egyptian monuments.
One of the examples of this type of monuments that are usually seen in any walk in Rome, are the many obelisks, which are usually seen throughout the city, especially when we go to a square, since there are usually several obelisks together.
But, why is this? Simple, hundreds and hundreds of years ago, during the time of the Ptolemies, Egypt, it can be said that it was practically one of the many provinces of the powerful Roman EmpireTherefore, any important decision to be made in Egypt must first be approved by the Roman Senate.
Due to what we have just told you, it is not difficult to imagine the intense traffic of articles coming from Egypt, which were destined for the then capital of the Roman Empire, Rome.
