  • If you get the time and think it is worth it, try to go to La Bocca della Veritas or "The Mouth of Truth".

    It is found in the atrium of St. Mary's in Cosmedin Church in Rome and is dated back to the 4th century B.C

    This stone face was used for swearing oaths. The speker would put his hand in the mouth which would bit him if he was a liar.
