Two words, one name: Roman Holidays and Audrey Hepburn. Along with the "Mouth of Truth" you will also have the chance of visiting the church. The only Christian Orthodox one in Rome. It was built on top of a previous, early Christian, church which, in its turn, had been built on top of a Roman temple (all still visible). The floors are amazing and the visit is definitely worth the queue!
