Hica was an ancient Roman guide who was responsible for helping new arrivals to Rome. He could tell them where to stay, where to eat and at what time the games started at The Colosseum.\n\nTherefore, any new visitors to the city would "Ask Hica".

It is in the "toe" of the boot! It is a lovely section of Italy. Very different from Rome or Venice or Florence. You move from mountains to beaches. The scenery is lovely and the art and architecture even lovlier. The people are amazingly helpful and kind. So much history in this area. You will love it!

Memorials are often related to death and destruction: World Trade Center MEMORIAL, Martin Luther King Jr. MEMORIAL or Titanic Wreckage MEMORIAL Bouye.  A monument tends to be built to remember a significant person or event in history or a time period.  The Empire State Building, for example, is a MONUMENT of the booming American economy of the period and the Arc de Triumph is a MONUMENT to military victories.  Of course there is some blurrying between the definitions, but this tends to be the trend:  Memorials: More somber, remembrance.  Monuments: more of a mark of achievement or historic marker.  (and there are some monuments, such as the Washington Monument, which -- although built after Washington's death (so a memorial) is more _symbolic_ of Washington's ideals and the constructs of American freedoms - making it a monument)

Arc de Triomphe on the Place de l'Étoile. \n\nNapoleon Bonaparte built this monument for the glorification of his French Army. His victorious troops would march on through the arch cheered by the population of Paris. This never happened thanks to General Wellington who defeated Napoléon at Waterloo in 1815.  It was finished in 1836 and is decorated with bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the revolutionary era. In 1921, the tomb of an unknown soldier was added in remembrance of 1.5 million soldier victims of WWI.\n\nDo you need more than than?  :)

The City of Dyonisia; was their annual acting/theatre festival. It could be considered a holy week actually. It was held in Athens first then slowly spread to all the city states.\nThis would usually be held in late summer/early fall. Since Dionysius is the greek god of Wine it would have been held after the grape harvests.

I find the best definitions online at dictionary.com, which also links to a wonderful thesaurus.  In this case, I found that 'commemorate' means 'to serve as a memorial or reminder of.'\nHope this helps!

Rome - the eternal "city" is truely beautiful.  Go out on the "economy" and see the side streets.  Then see the real cites - the Colosseum (and all the "old" buildings), the Catacombs, the Vatican and Vatican City (go on a weekend, you may even be blessed by the Pope), etc.  Then go to the Appean Way.  These are just a very small amount of things to see.  Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy - and look again for you may miss something because there is so very much to see!  Good luck.

The most significant "Memorial" one could observe is, of course, the Memorial of Christ's death. It is sometimes called "the Last Supper" or "the Lord's Evening Meal".\n\n(1 Corinthians 11:23-25, NWT) The Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf... Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 25 He did likewise respecting the cup.. Keep doing this... in remembrance of me.” \n\n(1 Cor 11:24, 25, NEB) "Do this as a memorial of me.” \n\n\nChrist Jesus himself personally celebrated and explained the significance of that Last Supper to his followers (see Matthew 26:26-29). Apparently Jesus Christ established the occasion to supercede the Jewish Passover, which occurs after sunset on the 14th of Nisan (a month of the Jewish calendar).\n\n(Luke 22:14-16) At length when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 And [Jesus] said to them: “I have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes fulfilled in the kingdom of God.\n\n\nSadly, it is only a minority of professed Christians who follow the BIBLICAL pattern for the Last Supper which was established by Christ himself. Sadly, most of Christendom ignores Christ's celebration and instead follow unrelated human traditions which purport to honor Christ, but in ways unconnected with what Jesus Christ established.\n\nLike the former Passover, those Christians who commemorate the Last Supper have also done so on the date corresponding to Nisan 14, which generally falls between late March and mid-April. Interestingly, Christians in the centuries immediately after Christ's impalement were sometimes called "Quartodecimans" which literally mean "fourteen-ers"\n\n\nThere are fundamental differences between the Memorial which Christ Jesus instituted and the so-called "Easter" which Christendom adopted from pagan worship of the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre (or Oestre). While most Easter celebrations merely repackage pagan fertility festivals and concentrate on eating, decorating, and frivolity, the Last Supper focuses on the value of Christ's sacrifice and the sober obligation of Christianity. \n\n(Matthew 15:6-9) You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you when he said, 8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.’”\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/lmn/article_08.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/rq/article_11.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20041215/article_02.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20011115/article_02.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20050101a/\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/jt/

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - Horace wrote it, not Homer (this one was Greek). It's a line of Horace's "Odes", and it means: it's sweet and appropriate to die for one's homeland!

The full inscription on the Statue of Liberty is a poem entitled "New Collusus" by Emma Lazarus:\n\n    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,\n    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;\n    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand\n    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame\n    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name\n    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand\n    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command\n    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.\n\n    "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she\n    With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,\n    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,\n    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.\n    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,\n    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" \n\nI haven't been to hell, but if you are referring to Dante's hell, the inscription reads: Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.  Dante wrote in Italian, so feel free to translate.

after jfk was assassinated, many organizations did what they could to commemorate him. this is just one example. the naming of an airport, the use of his likeness on a coin, are other examples.
