Press Release: Another brick in the wall
Friday 20th June 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
This summer the British Museum hosts a fascinating exhibition dedicated to the Roman Emperor Hadrian “Hadrian Empire and Conflict” (24 July - 26 October 2008). Best known for his passion for architecture, this exhibition will display artefacts from 28 worldwide museums to explore the legacy of this great man.
As Hadrian did us Brits the honour of visiting our fair island in order to build his wall, it seems only fair to return the favour (without the wall building). So if you truly want to walk in the footsteps of Hadrian take a short break to Rome this summer to see the most iconic relic of his rule – The Pantheon.
As a lover of all things architectural I’m sure Hadrian would have approved of the 5* Boscolo Exedra Hotel set in a white marble 19th century palazzo on Rome’s Piazza della Repubblica. Treat yourself to a short break Emperor style and visit Rome with Railbookers from just £599 per person for 3 nights with the 3rd night free at this resplendent hotel, including breakfast and return rail travel.
