First sentence: Anselm was born in 1033 in the Alpine town of Aosta, an ancient Roman town, which then had many, and still has some, huge Roman buildings - amphitheatre, Praesidium, triumphal arch, walls and fortified gatehouses - gaunt witnesses to a great past among the scattered remains of early medieval settlement.
