At Pompey's Exit From Jerusalem
To make this work the way we Romans like,
you need to use the choicest of locations;
and not behind a wall, hedge, pile, or dike---
these do not give successful demonstrations.
Procedures like this have a certain cost
(man hours, material security
are all expensive, each in its own right).
Therefore, the full effect cannot be lost
upon the local subjects. Hence, the site---
one that can be used quite repeatedly---
must be well placed: like this one I just saw,
only a few steps past the city wall,
on this main road (a major artery
you might say), and they say the locals call
this ridge (that seems to have a face) "the skull."
