We just learned that a couple was sited for kissing in front of the Colosseum on the night of July 26, 2007. The charge was ‘obscene acts in a public place.’ We like this story because it is a great example that the more things change the more they stay the same. Any student of history might recall that the Emperor Tiberius (rule 14 - 37) passed a mandate against kissing in public. We wonder if this law is still on the books?
