And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

At the Heidentor, Austria’s best-known Roman monument and landmark, there's a line diagram of the triumphal arch etched onto a sheet of perspex, allowing visitors to stand in front of the monument as it looked like when it was built in the 350s AD.
Not a lot of Roman monuments here in the States. That one's current condition is probably a consequence of unemployed youths protesting for more jobs and lower taxes...
Been there and it is very cool. It's old Carnuntum, now a small Austrian town called Petronell. We were visiting my wife's family in Hungary and it was a convenient and cheap over night stop on the drive back to Frankfurt.
I knew nothing about the place until we got there, then there was so much to see we stayed a few extra days. Roman ruins, museums, lots of history.
So now we know what it looked like before the Antifa/BurnLootMurder/Dimwitrat crowd tore it down because racism/white privilege/Trump...........

I wonder how many of the missing stones ended up in local homes?
