After leaving the Capitol Building,
we went around back and there in the valley below is old Rome or the Forum!
We entered through this arch! TheArch of Septimus Severus! The legendary
Romulus is supposed to be buried just inside? After entering, looking back,
Tomb is supposed to be under big rock on left? The building {Curia} where
the Senate met was to the right side of arch! |

Scene's looking back across the valley, some
of the building were so large I could not get them in lenses! |

This is Basilica Aemilia, it was an ancient
Palace, but it’s design became a model for all the medieval Churches that followed!
It was built on top of some other ruins. |

Looking up to the right as we left is the
Palatine Hill area. Palatine is where we get the word Palace! This is where the
Imperial Houses were! Now there are just scant remains. |

We exited through the Arch
of Titus, and started walking down this road toward the Coliseum, this is
where all the Roman armies of the past have returned from their battles!
Thanks for letting Marlene and I share a few of our memories
with you! Traveling is a real challenge and you have to be flexible
for sure! |
