A story from Ansa.it has caught my eye. I spend a lot of time studying the cursed remains of pagan temples, but I’ve never come across unspeakably giant monsters guarding ancient secrets while I do it. It turns out I’ve been looking in the wrong place. Part of ancient Rome is now home to giant crabs. They get bonus monster points for eating the corpses of dead cats, rats and pigeons.
