Hi No Youjin
On quaint devices for time-travel
There are literally too many of them (public infrastructure works need to stop for months whenever they accidentally dig up an imperial-era domus or an Ionic capital, so they feel more like journeys through a minefield than construction projects). I can't see ancient Rome in my mind, but I can feel this strange connection to the anonymous human beings who stood, two millennia ago or more, in that very same spot, touched with fingers just like mine the same rough patch in the stone, experienced the same palette of emotions, instincts, and weaknesses as I do. Of course it has undergone much transformation over the years, but its sleepy side alleys and hidden temples retain a vintage charm that you can't find in many other parts of modern Tokyo.
