Why we like it
We appreciate how this sculpture anchors Berat's layered history — you're standing in a medieval fortress looking at a Roman emperor, and the geography itself tells the story of how many empires crossed this ground. It's the kind of artifact that feels earned when you climb up to find it, not handed to you in a museum.
