| Show rome built in a day the old saying rome built in a day will have to be modified for records have been found stating that it was built in in a day likewise it is stated by the historian strabo that the great cities of Anc hiale and tarsus were built by both in one day according to the inscription on his monument the latin word used for the word day has several meanings however and does not refer to a day of 24 hours but like the day used in the first chapter of genesis refers to a period of time we still use the word in that sense occasionally when we refer to the day of our youth so rome probably was built in a day after all but it in 24 hours asserts pearsons london weekly |
