| Margaret and I walked to the Forum almost our first evening. |
There's not a lot of street greenery in Rome. But poppies flourish eveywhere. |
At that time, peole strolled quietly in the ruins. |
We didn't know what everything was. |
Nor did it matter. This is the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, apparently. |
But I have no idea what this is. |
| We could admire the place |
and the fallen tabula |
and enjoy its grandiosity |
This is the arch of Septemius Severus |
who takes slaves |
and I think this is the remains of the Temple of Saturn in the background |
| I KNOW this is the interior of the Curia |
and this is the view from its doorstep |
Looking down from the Capitoline |
You get a different view, looking right |
looking left |
They were good at cementing stones together |
