Not exactly ancient Rome, but any time I imagine a peaceful place, it has the architecture and aesthetic of an early 2000s sci-fi action/horror movie, like Resident Evil or Blade 2. Empty underground complexes, walls of of brushed steel and frosted glass, with mirrorlike floors of polished dark stone that shimmer under flourescent lights. Long and austere indoor greenhouses whose plants have grown wild in their neglect, with roots stretching across walkways and leaves that have begun to suffocate the grow lights. A vast and geometric central atrium, silent except for the soft trickle of a fountain, whose bright and spotless desolation lets me finally relax in a place that is comfortably, familiarly uncanny.
