Round-the-World Holiday – June 23-28, 2003

Statue

Kinda scary multiple-breasted statue from Palatine.

More Palatine ruins

More Palatine ruins.

Snook and book

Snookums consults our guidebook in silhouette.

Vignola's aviary

Though I didn’t know it at the time, I have since found out that these elegant buildings were once the twin pavilions of Vignola’s aviary. Hm.

Me and Snook

Here’s the Snook and I overlooking the Forum, which lies at the foot of the Hill.

Copper doors

Now we’re down in the Imperial Forum proper. I thought these doors were pretty. I can’t identify which building they’re from, but I think it was a church.

Temple of Divus Antoninus and Diva Faustina

This is the Temple of Divus Antoninus and Diva Faustina, which is another that got turned into a church.

More forum

I have no idea what this plaque was for or what it said, but I thought it was neat.
