题目：【Reading Comprehension】
At first glance , there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and Rome , but back in the 5th century,it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Western Roman Empire. In this city, Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now,for their sweeping mosaics(镶嵌图案) . Seven of Ravenna' s eight buildings from the 5th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decorated with examples of this ancient art. "In the past, many people couldn't read or write, " says tour guide and Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. " Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situation to the people. "
Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists,listen to musicians,and learn to make their own masterpieces.
