Rome, Italy
The abbreviation SPQR is easily found on many Roman statues, buildings, and military standards. It stands for “senatus populusque romanus.” which means “The senate and people of Rome.”

True – and once you know it, you see it EVERYWHERE. Even on the man-hole covers in the middle of the streets. Of course, the joke is it really means “Sono Pazzi Questi Romani” (These Romans are crazy). : )
Great find on the Rome video. Cheers.
Thanks for the visit and the ‘like’. Nice to find you.

I’ve just come back from a weekend in Rome and your post brought back lots of good memories 😉
