| The Colosseum with "replacement" floor for full effect |
An amazing feat of engineering |
You can almost hear the crowd of 50,000! |
The hypogeum - underground tunnels for gladiators and animals |
The Arch of Constantine, from the Colosseum |
Looking across to the Roman Forum & the Temple of Venus & Roma |
| Tired, but happy |
Can we stay in the shade a bit longer? |
The view from floor level is awe-inspiring |
From the outside, a cross-section of the structure |
The colossal Colosseum (note bride & groom at far left) |
Temple of Antoninus and Faustina in the Roman Forum |
| Structures built into the Palatine Hill |
Doors to the Temple of Romulus |
The Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine - immense! |
All that remains is the north aisle and its 3 barrel vaults |
Arch of Titus on the Via Sacra |
View across the Forum toward Capitoline Hill |
