Advantages: Must-go for catholics Disadvantages: No
As a Catholic, going to Vatican is like going to Mecca for Muslims or the Ganges for the Hindus. It's been my dream since my baptism.

Did I really want to go to the Vatican Museum? Expecting nothing I took the metro to Ottaviano. It was not difficult to know which way to go, I just followed the crowds and after about five minutes I was confronted with the huge walls of the Vatican City.

While waiting in line you get a taste of how efficiently run the Vatican is, this was the only museum in Italy where the staff seemed not only regimented but very neatly turned out in a Vatican uniform.
Unlike all the other museums around Italy there is no free entrance for students, although I did try. There are over four miles ...

Rome Season 2
----------------------
Rome Season two boxed set contains all ten episodes spread evenly with two episodes each on five discs. It comes in a nice sturdy wooden box that offers fantastic protection to the discs. The cover work is very well done and very apt, with sepia style images of Roman architecture from antiquity, and at the forefront an image depicting a Roman woman holding a dagger at her side. Opening the outer lid, you are greeted by a Roman style image of Romulus and Remus being suckled by the she-wolf. The inner carton that holds the discs as two images, one of a battle, the other of a Roman triumph. Finally behind each disc is an image of one of the main characters. On the inside of the opposite lid is an image of an asp, possibly depicting the asp that killed Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator, the last Ptolemy ...
