Dum sedent in ruinas

Rome the eternal, Rome the glowing jewel of this world lies in front of me in ruins and as I walk through mutilated carcasses and scorched temples I know. 

I know that we will never forget; never forgive; the punic empress and her Hunic horde, the devastation and pain she put thousandfold upon the righteous citizens of the eternal city. 

But I also know that Rome is not constituted only by mortal souls and marble temples. Is the immortal idea of blood and steel, of strength and honor and this is inextricably binded within the deepest, most archaic parts of our being. 

And we will rebuild our fortress and reforge our swords and shields and all barbarians will tremble in the sight of the eagle.
