What do you do when things start falling apart? Rome doubled down on control. Price controls, heavy taxes, rules for bakers and butchers, and by some estimates half the town on the government payroll.

You can be nostalgic for a childhood that wasn't yours. Forget landmarks. The most transportive images here are a CRT TV left on in an empty living room, sunlight through a window, a dining table after breakfast.
