Some more photos from Italy!

This time, I've got photos from The Forum and a couple from the Capitoline Museum.

Firstly, though, a picture of me with the Arch of Constantine and the Colosseum in the background, and the Colosseum, again.



Now, The Forum.

Arch of Septimius Severus and the Senate House
Tabularium with what's left of the Temple of Vespasian and Titus in front
View of The Forum from the west (Arch of Titus is in the far background)
Another view from the west (taken from inside the Tabularium)
Same as above, just different camera settings
Forum from behind the Temple of Saturn (close on sunset)
After visiting The Forum (and having a dodgy lunch), we visited the Capitoline Museum.

The original statue out the front of the museum
A model of the Capitoline Museum
The She-Wolf statue depicting the legend of Romulus and Remus
Next up will be photos of Ostia Antica. This is a cool little town to visit if you're into ancient Rome, as it was the sea port of the city (until humans - emperors - interfered, changing the environment through creating another port to the north of it, and ruining the original port, or something like that). More on that later, though.
