Park
Parco della Caffarella
Rome, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital
Pastoral valley with Roman ruins, a working farm, sheep, and a second-century murder mystery.
This guide to Parco della Caffarella in Rome traces the second-century marriage of the senator Herodes Atticus, tutor to two future emperors, and his young wife Annia Regilla, and the sudden death that led her brother, a newly appointed consul, to bring a murder charge against a man in Herodes's household. You'll hear how the trial unfolded and what Herodes did with this valley afterward. Listen near the ancient brick tomb beside the path.
