The Roman Forum..was a common market place and a civiv piazza...originally destroyed by fire in 283 A.D, and again, after it was rebuilt, by invasions through the middle ages. The materials were also taken and used for comon houses etc....It was funny this day cos in one minute it was like heavy as rain...then the next it was brilliant sunshine....:-) !

This was in Hercumlaneum.not such a good one of me ..but just imagine that this was once somebodys mini court yard!

This was Herculaneum..not Pompeii...but another town destroyed but the eruption of Mount Vesuvius... Ironic,..but it was beautifull!

The inside of the Colosseum...It was designed as a type of amphitheater, with the ability to seat 50,000 spectators. There are many complex passage ways which were used for staged hunts of wild animals (a show that sometimes entailed the exicution of condemned criminals)....pleasent entertainment!

The Colosseum...amazing!!!...soooo huge!

"La trevi de fontana"...The trevi fountain...prolly oone of my favorite sites...it was beautifull....especially at night. Apparently, if you through a penny over you right sholder , into the fountain, you assured a return trip to rome one day...Lets hope its true!!
