Rome!

 I went to Rome!   So I could have a picture of me taken in front of the basement of the Colosseum, where they kept the gladiators, prisoners and wild animals that would fight to the death for the audience's amusement..

A shot of the Colosseum from the outside.


A shot of the Colosseum from the mildly expensive seats.


A view of Constantine's Arch built to celebrate Constantine's victory of Maxentius in 312 CE.


Everyone steals from everyone;  this is an Egyptian obelisk outside the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, near where we were staying.

 


There's an Archeology Museum that's built right next door to archeological digs.


This is the fountain at the end of the Via Nazionale (where I was staying).
