It seems the overall consensus is to leave it as is, which seems sound to me. Thank you all for the advice, opinions, etc ...
Capri and Diva are two lovely torties. My cat is one as well, so I have a personal affection for them.
Is the temple on site labelled Temple to Vespasian? There is scholarly disagreement over its identity and am curious to know how the staff at...
