One of the greatest and oldest special effects in history can be witnessed in Rome today.

Each year on April 21, the traditional birthday of Rome, the midday sun shines directly on the entrance of the Pantheon.

The Emperor would be bathed in sunlight as he stepped inside.

Imagine this is the leader of your nation.

A man committed to the welfare of his people.

A man who commanded armies on the field.

A man who's reign introduced generational peace & prosperity.

Augustus, the first emperor of Rome.

Here is why you deserve someone like him🧵
