From the Italian news agency, ANSA...."Rome's archaeological heritage was left largely untouched by the Monday quake that sent a shudder through the capital as it caused death and destruction in L'Aquila 100 km (60 miles) to the east.
The Terme di Caracalla had suffered damage that still had to be quantified but the Forum and Colosseum were unscathed, Archeological Superintendent Angelo Bottini said. ''But we'll have to wait until tomorrow to have a complete and detailed picture,'' Bottini said."
