Cities of the Underworld: Rome

Very recommendable! However, the host of this documentary is barely bearable! History Channel sensationalized it and chosen over dramatic music for it as if it was an action movie!

The Catacombs are not even mentioned!

What Do Frankfurt Am Main And Rome Have In Common?

Birthplace And Favorite Destination

Frankfurt am Main, Germany is my birthplace. Rome, Italy is one of my favorite travel destinations among the capitals of Western Europe.

Election Of Kings

Both cities are known for being places where kings were elected. In Frankfurt nobles were choosing the next king. In Rome during the Roman Kingdom period, the people elected the next king.

Both Cities Are At A Major River

But this is not all, both cities lie at a critical ford across the river. Frankfurt is even named after the ford of the Franks. Some say population is destiny, but geography is influential too.
