Romes Rich Past Stalls Metro Line Expansion




The construction of Metro C has been put under a grinding halt while excavation of Roman artifacts take place where the 15 mile long subway is to be built. Building this new subway would massively relieve congestion from the traffic above and is necessity and top priority among the Italian Government. The problem of finding Roman sites and artifacts has plagued the Roman construction projects since they first began. Unfortunately for the officials, they have to most likely find another place to build the metro because they have uncovered Hadrian's Ampitheatre.
