Protecting Rome's Ancient Architecture, with @saverome

Modern Rome is built atop a layer of ancient ruins, many of which are still standing and accessible today. Having worked in Rome as a preservationist and teacher for the last 15 years, archaeologist Darius Arya (@saverome) has a keen knowledge of the city's rich structural history. Through Instagram, he takes followers along for an up-close, educational look at Rome's ruins. "I love being able to reveal a lot of information on a well-known structure like the Pantheon or discuss a structure or issue in the shadow of something so well known, like the barely-known Saepta Julia resting against the Pantheon," he says. "Instagram has helped me focus my message and deliver a variety of styles, from a simple photo to intensely dense informative material."

In his self-proclaimed quest to make #culturalheritage cool, Darius has opened up a global dialogue about the Roman ruins on Instagram. "I find the feedback from people is great. People are learning, hungry for more. I really enjoy being able to get into the conversation and spur on interest."

To get your daily dose of Rome's #culturalheritage, and to follow along as Darius embarks on a 3-year excavation in Ostia Antica this June and July, be sure to follow him on Instagram @saverome!
