Oh, THAT is cool!

"what appears to be a heart when viewed one way is, in fact, the figure of a hedera distinguens - an ivy leaf used as a text divider in ancient carvings - when seen the other way round."

Yes, this makes me want to go back to Rome and find this. I love little stuff like this. Ohhh, and it's not even listed in Atlas Obscura!

Thanks for the find!

Love this! Thank you.
I go to Rome often and collect unusual sites/experiences to do on each trip. It becomes like a scavenger hunt and really enhances my enjoyment of this favorite city of mine.
