Join Dr. Rocky for this video lecture to understand why no complex in Rome better expresses the historical complexity of the city than San Clemente. The present Medieval church stands above an Early Christian one, which in turn was built atop of an ancient Roman palace and apartment building.

We shall peel back the strata of Rome, descending through millennia to the period when all Roman cults, including one called “Christianity,” cohabited peacefully.
