Secrets of a Basilica. - part 2 - (the grave)

[EdM021]

9:06 one of the graffiti looks like a very crooked cross with a lopsided "V" on the vertical. Perhaps this is stick-figure representation of the gallows that the Roman authorities "crucified" their worst criminals on, complete with a short impaling stake. (Rome was not only an honor-shame based society, it was also a phallocentric one; so for a male at least being forcibly penetrated was the biggest shame of all.)

Davvero eccezionale, questo video è. Tempo ho cercato un video che descrive la storia della Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano. Grazie!

Hi There Darsham!

how are you?

i watched this video. I am still looking for a englisch (because there absolutely isn't one in Dutch). Do you know if there is one ? Or do you know the maker of this film (producent or someone like that)

Hello,

I think there's no version in other language because it was realized by the italian tv, and I think it's different from any other kind of documentary from the american tv (without any influence of illuministic or protestant ideology)... I'm sorry for that...
