Guide-blog to fill the gap in the guide-books, based on my travels. I am Classical archaeologist and historian of ancient art, fascinated with the way the Empire period employed the ancient models in arts, politics and propaganda.

"'I wished to found a European system, a European code of laws, a European judiciary', wrote Napoleon on St Helena. 'There would be but one people in Europe.' There is some irony in the fact that Waterloo was fought a mere twelve miles from Brussels, the capital of today's European Union. For, although Wellington won the battle, it is Napoleon's dream that is coming true."
A. Roberts, Napoleon & Wellington, 2001
