MEANWHILE with McKiever: A Collection

On the floor In front of him were diagrams drawn In chalk. On the wall to his right and behind him were other mysterious markings which would tell archeologists the age and function of the masonry. We walked a few paces, stepped down to a slightly lower level and stopped. In front of m were a row of fine, small. Against the wall were tombs of primitive design, and above them patches of frescoes that had not yet fallen. We were standing in the center of what was once a Christian shrine at a time when Imperial Rome was still in its glory.
