I visited Rome two weeks ago but only knew about St Clemente. Too bad I'm only reading this now, would have loved to have visited the other sites too!
St Clemente is great though, and not nearly as busy as other sites. Highly recommended. You can see three different buildings all on top of each other.

Interesting that no one says "The Joys of Discovering the Nazi Underground". Even though the Roman empire was a cruel war machine, with war and slavery being it's cornerstone. What Nazi called "The First Reich" was originally called the "Holy Roman Empire".
But now it's all forgotten and Roman Empire is almost adored.
UPDATE: I honestly don't know what tortures were worse, nazi ones or crucifixions with flayed back, practiced in Roman empire as punishment.
